So we are just about finished with a week of fun at Gran and Pop's house. The kids LOVE visiting here. It's all about them, as it always is with any of their grandparents! We've gone horse back riding, swimming, played with friends, eaten ice cream, and more swimming! Tomorrow we're going to the zoo and have another play date scheduled! They can't get enough! Then Friday it's life back to normal. Bummer!
Cora has done really well on her first week of maintenance chemo meds! She was really puny and didn't feel good the first 3 or 4 days after her LP last Tuesday, but around Friday she perked right up and has done great ever since. She just finished 5 days on steroids. Her appetite picked up a little, but it's a bit of a lower dose, so she wasn't as grouchy and hungry as before. (thank God!) She has to take a pill every night that doesn't seem to have too many side effects and on Tuesdays she has to take 5 pills at once and she just ate them in applesauce and did great! I think being here has been a great distraction for her.
Cade has learned to dive and Cora actually enjoys the pool (which is landslides better from last year!) Mommy has enjoyed having two other adults just DYING to do normal things for my kids like pour juice and help go potty! I could move in! I'll post pics when we get home!

Mandy--that stinks that we were almost there at the same time! Let me know the next time you are thinking about a trip to the Midwest!
