Nathan came by with a "Why do you put everything you see in your mouth, but not food?"
All of the Cheerios ended up here:
Reuben was no longer happily distracted.So I gave him a handful of Oh's.
They ended up here:
Even he knows that Cheerios taste like cardboard*, while Honey Graham Oh's have Good Things in the Middle! (TM)Cycle 3 went well. Reuben's heart tissue got a short break from doxorubicin, so we only pumped in one poison (ifosfamide), which was doubtless easier. He is already looking quite pale (see the dark circles?), enough so that we checked his hemoglobin levels just before leaving the hospital. I think I'll push for a cell counts and transfusion before that scheduled for the 10th. Did I tell you about his last transfusion? It was awesome: my heartachingly hollow-eyed baby was instantly ruddy and glowing. Makes you want to take your iron pills.
*though cardboard, too, goes straight in the mouth...but not real food that tastes like cardboard...?

I eat Oh's everyday. It gets me up in the morning.

I think I diminished your stash by a lot while we were there.
I miss you guys! Happy 4th
I just caught up on your blog, and I'm so happy that you are still fitting good, fun, crafty, things into your life. I love old, classic books, and I'm trying to encourage Annie to read ones too (although I have nothing against all of her fairy/fantasy ones she's addicted to). Any good suggestions that Audrey has loved? Love you guys!
Such a little cutey. I love that mischievous little smile. jan
Thanks for reminding me to take my iron supplements!
Look at those bright sparkly eyes. Baby boys are the best.
I love his grin and can't wait to see it in real life.
I don't blame him. I love Oh's, too. Imagine having a brand-new baby mouth that had never felt all the textures in the world before. He's exploring his environment! :)
