Snacks

At 8:05pm the night before Troy was born (which was a Sunday), our digital camera croaked… we made due for a while, but finally got around to picking up a new camera roughly two weeks ago… so what does this all mean?? While I don’t seem able to find enough time to blog these days, we’ve been camera happy and have lots of pictures to share so future posts may be more visual than anything else.

Liam is back in the clinic this week for chemotherapy. So far so good, but it’s always the following week when the issues seem to arise. We squeezed one more trip to the Cape in last weekend, and are getting pretty good at packing and unpacking for eight (yes, Lucy and Daisy get to go too, although I’m not sure how much more we could possibly stuff into the minivan).

Last Wednesday, I went back to work, the same day Bridgett was scheduled to have her stone blasted... as it turns out, she must have passed it sometime after Troy was born because the pre-blasting x-ray showed no stone. She was a bit annoyed at the 24 hour fasting period she endured, but otherwise happy to know it’s gone. Work for me was relatively quiet, people definitely giving me some space to ease back into it… I’m back on the M-Th schedule which leaves Bridgett and our various helpers to make the majority of the trips to Boston with Liam.

Troy’s christening is this weekend… we’ve kept it relatively small (no pony rides) and are hope that guests won’t be offended when directed to the newly installed CalStat dispenser we’ve added to the home décor. You can find anything on the internet, and this gives us that hospital antibacterial feel at home too.

The next big hurdle for Liam is a 5 night inpatient stay starting roughly Oct 17th. The combinations of drugs he’ll receive that week are the ones that knocked him out pretty well in August. In addition, he’ll have his first CT since surgery/end of radiation while there… and this will all take place the week basketball season kicks off – UG!

Two blood drives are being held in October, more details to the left. Thanks to Tom and Melissa. Also thanks for all the baby gifts. For the Carroll’s down south- Who is Snacks? I’d like to make sure he is properly thanked as well!!
