Back on the home front.

This is Christopher's favorite nurse, "Whitney". She is about to stick 2 needles in his chest and still they always manage to laugh. She is awesome we love her!

Christopher is seen here with Pro Jaguars player Quentin Groves.

He happened to visit the children's clinic during Chris' pre-chemo appointment on Tuesday so he had a chance to meet and chat with him. Later that evening they were on the main News Channel as Christopher and he were talking it up! (Seeing as he is so shy!)...he scored tickets to an upcoming Jag game, even after he mentioning we weren't big football fans and that we were a Patriot household because I was from New England and all! Chris has never been to a Pro football game so this will be exciting. Quentin was super sweet and very genuine. He mentioned how he admire the strength and determination of these young kids dealing with life threatening illnesses and that most of us adults could learn from it.

It was thankfully an uneventful week and Chris tolerated the treatment very well. We got home this morning and have until Tuesday before going back for round 15.

Chris also saw the Prosthetist and was given a "stump shrinker" to wear for 2 weeks and then he will have a cast made and FINALLY should have the Prosthesis about a week or so after that.

He is glad to be home, though I came down with a bad case of the flu and was quarantined from his room the last couple days and have to wear a mask in the house. Please say a prayer or two that I am not contagious. I am on the swine flu medication and Chris will need to take it as well as a precaution.

I want to thank and wish much luck to Tammy and friends at TAP lighting as they prepare for the big fundraiser tomorrow in San Diego! A lot of work has gone into this event and I am very grateful! We will keep you posted on it's success!

With much love and appreciation to all, Patty
