Last night Backus had a Christmas Party for the hematology/oncology patients. The kids had a ball. It's only the third day off steroids and Cora's personality has improved dramatically! She was actually able to have fun despite the bloat! They had fake snow, games, crafts, and Santa made an appearance. Santa gave Cora an Ariel Barbie and Cade a remote control Speed Racer car. Cora freaked out and didn't want to go near Santa, but had a great time at the party! She actually resembled Santa more than ever before this year with her big belly and red dress with white fur! We decided Santa's problem may not be too many cookies, but he may be on high dose steroids!The highlight of the night was when they asked for someone who knew how to speak Spanish up front. Cade's hand shot up out of nowhere and before we knew it he was up at the front leading the group in "Feliz Navidad". By the time we got the video going he was nearly done, but the chorus went something like this "feliz navi"das", feliz navi"das", feliz navi"das" mmm, mmm, mmm, mmho, feliz e das. He told us he knew that song really well because he practiced it that day in Spanish class at school. When he finished the guy up front playing guitar told him to say, "thank you very much, I'll be here every night this week!" We were cracking up. He was dead serious. Sometimes he is totally shy, and sometimes he is up for anything!
