Today's post is primarily about Josh because he lost he first two teeth today. He managed to loosen his bottom two front teeth this morning at breakfast when he decided to help himself to a little extra syrup after I had told him that he had enough and left the room. He attempted to open the top of the syrup bottle with his teeth and was shocked and devastated to find that his teeth gave out before the bottle did. It was quite traumatic for him since he had only discovered that his teeth were starting to feel like they could wiggle just a couple of days ago. After his experience with the syrup bottle, he had two really loose teeth and a mouthful of blood. By the end of the day, his grandfather Kelley helped him to wiggle those teeth completely out of his mouth and he now has a classic jack-0-lantern smile. And now for Katie...
She is getting by fairly well, but it is definitely apparent that she has had a dose of chemotherapy that her body is not happy with. She is struggling with being hungry at the same time that she has an upset stomach - so not much food is going in, but she is sampling food constantly. Also, because she doesn't feel quite right, she doesn't want to do much. She wants to be cuddling with a parent or carried by a parent everywhere. She is a little cranky and a little less willing to cooperate than she has been during the last three to four weeks so it looks like our break is over. Its a good thing that we got some of big summer trips done early. We may not get another chance to take her on a big trip away from home again this summer.

Hi All,
So sorry I have not written, but I have not been home much lately. And I am so sorry to here the bad times are here again. Poor little sweetie. Sad Face Here.... Hang in there as you have seen in the past she is tough and you made it and you will all come through again. It seems so hard at times. But it will get better. I will be praying for you all. And especially for little Katie's health.
As for Josh... loosing his teeth. That only means he is growing up. It goes so fast when they get started. Good job Josh and Grampa Kelley.
Love to all
