Day 22; Bossy

The boy was a bit bossy yesterday. I guess he figured it was time to put us to work ;-)" Mom, I need a drink." " Mom, let's talk"."Mom, you need to look at the video." " Mom, stop talking to other people." " Don't talk to Dad." He is becoming more and more like himself ( not the bossy part); I even got a laugh out of him an was told that I was silly(I am, usually) and he loves me. ( I am loveable, too!)
We had a good weekend. Things remained stable and Hayden got to get out of bed several times. He is very weak and it is really hard work, but he is trying so hard. He understands that getting well will be hard work for him.He called me his coach yesterday and said I was like Gary Williams;-)
He still has a way to go. There are many meds. running that are " intensive care" meds. Sometime this week, they will likely begin to transition him to other meds., but that process takes time. Still watchiung cardiac function. White blood cell count is slowly dropping, etc.
We were happy to have some peace and calm, for now. Hoping we continue like this.
He was up most of the night ( sorry Rob), so I may not have much of a play partner today...

Murphy's- Angela's $ is on the island. My parents dropped it last week. Can you do the alarm thing, again?

Marra's- I THINK our furniture is in this week. I'll call you- we might need to arrange to meet there and have you pick up the sofas and chair.

We are so pleased to hear that the weekend was a pretty good one. It is also good that your humor withstands all that is going on. Not everyone can be as strong as you.
May Hayden continue getting back to himself. May each day get better. We are rooting for him. We continue to pray for his continued progress.
Love to all of you,
Arnold and Jae

I have been thinking about you guys daily. Hayden is such a tough guy - wow... He is lucky to have such wonderful parents too. Great news that his white blood count continues to go down (wish he could share with my mom as hers needs to come up:) ) Will keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers!! Nikki D.
