So instead of spending this whole weekend with Duane like I did last weeken, I stayed with my next favorite boy, Tyler, and his family! Today is his 6th (omg, he's getting so old!) birthday, so I went up for the festivities.
First, the serious stuff, lol. It was so good to see him, especially after how he was at camp. The bubble is officially gone and no more steroids! (Random tangent: I always type steroids as "steriods," like the girls' track shirt that got screwed up in high school.) So needless to say, he was looking and feeling much better and acting 100% more Ty-like. He was a little sluggish and did puke once or twice but he'd just had chemo on Thursday afternoon so no biggie. And his coordination is coming back! He pedaled his big wheel (big wheels, oh yeah!) all the way down the street and back up... all by himself!!!! That's freaking HUGE progress!
But now for the best part of the weekend... Ty got a hamster for his birthday from his grandma so he can be all responsible now that he's 6. Ha! After thinking over what to name his new creature, he finally decided to name it Jessica: "I will call him... I will call him.... Jessica!" So he's pretty sure its a girl. Yeah, Jessica has very large hamster balls. Oh but wait! Jessica also only has one eye. Funky little flap of skin/gaping hole in the side of its head where one usually finds an eyeball.
The kids have yet to notice...
