Decorating Easter Eggs



Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great Easter! We spent the day at my parents. Blake had a pretty good Easter. I dont think he was feeling that well-he slept through lunch, poor kid. When he woke up, the kids got their Easter baskets from Nana & Papa. Then they all looked for Easter eggs. I think all the action took it out of Blake. He took a nice nap when we got home. The chemo seems to take it out of him.

Ok so here's what we've been up to last week:
Thursday we went to CM for his 'Vincristine'. The Easter bunny came to visit him while we were there. Blake actually went up to him and gave him a hug-I thought he'd be scared-but nope he was talking to him and even took a picture with him. Im hoping we will get a copy when we go next week for his next dose of chemo.

They scheduled Blake's MRI finally!! April 19. I am so anxious for the results.



Blake's cool monster eggs



Blake has been doing really well lately. He still has all of his hair-it has changed texture and its not as shiny lol. I was so ready to shave his whole head, im glad I waited. lol.



This morning we had our first meeting at 'Great Beginnings'. Blake turns 3 in June and he will no longer be eligible for 'First Steps' so we are looking into what the school district has to offer. They just built a beautiful new school out by us. I just hope he qualifies. We barely qualified for First Steps, so now that Blake has made improvements Im nervous that they wont accept him. It kinda stinks. Blake is SO smart, and he can do a lot of things by himself, however he still cant use his right arm/hand. Which makes everyday normal stuff very hard/frustrating for him. He wouldnt be able to go to a normal Pre-K due to his disabilities, yet his disabilities might not be enough to get him into this special school. Its like we are in limbo. They have several tests that they need to do on Blake before we will find out if he is eligible or not. I just pray somehow thay find a way to get him in.

Robot easter basket full of candy=Very happy Blake





Chubby cheeks full of candy lol



We have a nice quiet week this week. Rehab on Tues, Wed, and Friday. That is about all we have planned. Im hoping we will have some nice evenings-weather wise. The school we went to visit today has an AMAZING playground-so I want to take Blake up there to play. Most of the parks around our house are muddy and for bigger kids. This one has the rubber mat/ground, and has a bunch of special equiptment. Im super excited to go play! Blake waws sad we didnt get to go out and check it out today-dang rain. lol. I will take pics when we do go so you all can see how cool it is and how much fun Blake will be having there.:)

I guess thats all for now! Talk to you all soon!!
