Hello - Hope you all had a good week and weekend. Nathan handled the chemo very well and all he showed was a little extra crankiness and tiredness. With snow and parent-teacher conferences last week Nathan only went to school one day. Unfortunately I didn't even get to talk to his teacher because she was home having contractions..she'll be back in January. I did get to talk with the sub so that was good.
Friday I took them swimming. They had been wanting to swim for so long and they had a blast! In order to do this I had to remove his port needle and put in a new one on Friday. I had done it one time at the clinic with the nurse watching. I am happy to report it went very well and Nathan approved.
Saturday we met up with some friends at a pumpkin patch. They were picked through at that point but they had carted in some pumpkins. We also picked a few apples. They drive you out to the field on a trailer hooked up to a tractor and so the kids thought that was a lot of fun. It was a very nice time. Unfortunately for me I started having some contractions after all that activity so I spent the rest of the day lying around. They stopped at that point so I guess I need to take it a little easier from here on out....easier said than done.... Anyway - check out the photo page for some pics.
Today Nathan's choir and the first grade choir were singing at church. They sang all three services and Nathan thoroughly enjoyed himself. He did a great job and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it was to see him up there singing. I was in the choir loft for the first two services and couldn't really see him but Julia and I popped int the balcony to see him for the third service. Luke helped out with the kindergarteners for all 3 services. They hadn't really lined up any parents after the first one and he saw they needed help. He is SO GOOD with kids - and enjoys it. I am not sure I could have done it!
Nathan will not go to the clinic until Wednesday. It has been nice to have more than a week off from it.
Getting back to singing...they are in bed right now - but undoubtably Julia is up in his bunk and they are both singing...it is so sweet to hear. We have found that they play up there every night when they go to bed and then Nathan tells Julia when it is time for her to get down. They put away any toys they have in the throw up bin in his bed and go to sleep.
So - I will update again on Wednesday. He will just be getting counts done and we wouldn't expect them to be down too much yet - but who knows after the last round....
ps - the new pictures is his school picture
