Happy Friday!

It's been another week of "red" days and emails from the teacher. Eventually Eric will figure it out, especially when every bug, bug book and piece of lego has been confiscated. His favorite line is "But, I tried my best." I told him to quit trying and just do it! Then I realized I sounded just like my father. Scary!

Jack has been under the weather a bit this week, running a fever on and off and looking pretty pathetic at times. His sats are fine - which is always my biggest worry. I suspect his teacher or therapist brought something into the house from the kids at school they work with. I guess it's time for a not-so-subtle reminder that they must wash their hands upon entering our house. We saw the orthopedic surgeon this week and everything looks great. Jack's St. Louis ortho pleaded for a copy of Jack's x-ray (we haven't been so good about keeping him in the loop), so I got a copy of Monday's x-ray and sent it off to him. I know it really bugs him that he hasn't seen Jack for follow-up. Before surgery I asked him what his "mandatory" follow-up times were after surgery and he said 6 weeks and 1 year. Oh well! If he was a likeable guy, I'm sure I would have made more of an effort to get Jack back to St. Louis, at least one year post-op.

The side effects of radiation/chemo have finally caught up with my mom and it's time to go wig shopping. Other than the hair loss and overall feeling of blah, my mom seems to be tolerating the treatment well. She should be getting an MRI in the next week or two and that will tell us much.

That's the update from here. Have a great weekend.
