My little Rockstar! |
Wow! What a great week and weekend! So Friday we met with Dr. Wolff for a routine weekly check up. Our apt was for 11 with him, but he was running 2 hours behind schedule. :( I cant complain though because he is such an amazing doctor-totally worth the wait! Plus while we were waiting Flashes of Hope was doing photoshoots-so of course we participated! They are a nonprofit organization that takes photos of children fighting cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. How cool is that?! In 5-6 weeks we get 2 8x10, 4x6 proofs and a cd of all the images!! FOR FREE!! I am so excited! Blake was a total ham during the whole shoot. The photographers and staff just loved him! It means a lot to me that we did the shoot on Friday because after Wed-NO MORE MOHAWK! The radiation is going to cause bald spots-and we cant use hairspray or any perfume type hair products. We have to wash his hair with gentle baby shampoo and wear a hat so he doesnt get exposed to sunlight. His little head is gonna be so sensitive! So having photos taken before all of that-it was a nice surprise! Dr. Wolff came in and picked Blake up-giving him kisses and hugs! You can totally tell he loves his job-and all the kids. We talked and he let me know he was going to set up PT/OT for while we are in Texas! Woo Hoo!! Get some use out of the botox! :) He also is sending us to see the Neurologist-Blake has been itching his nose a lot-and it almost seems like he has some type of sensation on the right side of his mouth. So we are looking into all of that. We go in on Wed for our 1st proton therapy session. I am eager to see how quickly the tumor will disappear. I pray that it all goes smoothly. Blake is such a fighter!

Saturday we did a few errands-then Blake played in the baby pool we got to put in my aunts backyard. Blake actually got in a few times. He normally just stays on the outside. Then that night we went to Blakes favorite place-Wal-Mart. Lol got a few things we needed and then came home for bed!
Sunday-we attended church with my Aunt. Its a huge church-but very cool! Blake went to the 3 year old class-he did so good. I was so proud of him. He is just getting so big. After church we came home and had lunch. Now Blake is napping-thank goodness. He was up a lot last night. Poor kid got a mosquito bite on his arm that was itchy all last night. It kept him up. We might go for a drive later-maybe take Blake to one of those indoor playareas-like at McDonalds or something. The heat is horrible and wears him out so fast. Indoor with air-conditioning sounds good to me. :)
One of my favorites! |
Ok-so those of you who havent already heard...the Art Auction was a huge huge HUGE success! They raised $4200 and still counting! I was so chocked up when I got the message. I cannot believe all the people who donated and got together to support Blake. He has to be one of the most loved little guys out there! He has so much love and support surrounding him-and us. I cannot tell you how greateful we are of everything everyone has done for us. Its SO much!! I feel so blessed to be surrounded by SO many people who love us and are willing to help us in anyway they can. Its truly a blessing! You have all made such an impact on our lives! I dont think I will ever be able to repay you all for everything you have done! I hope you all know just how much all of your support and love means to us. Thank you thank you thank you!!
