Bad Week

Mark and I are incredibly lucky to be blessed with Jake. He is a gift. There is a valuable lesson to be learned here. Of all the painful things that Jake has had to endure to cure his disease he still loves. He tells us "I love you so much, . He continues to live life fully and pushes us to do as well. He has taught me so much.

Jake had a bad week. His little body was assulted by continuous chemo treatments that broke down his immune system as well as fast growing cells. He wakes up shaking and hypoglycemic.

His vocabulary is still exploding like crazy. He says new sentences and words every day. He never passes up a chance to say hello to the ladies. He loves dogs of all kinds. I'm fairly sure that once he finds out that dogs can be purchased, he will be asking for one. His current favorite food is french fries, potato chips, dip, salad with lots of dressing and cheese burgers.

He loves ty-dye shirts. When city market opens, we will go find our ty-dye man and buy more. I've made some for him but they don't turn out as dark and bright as the ty-dye man. We go in for blood tests tomorrow. They are going to lay off chemo this week to let him recover. Thank heavens.
