Today was a cold and windy day so we didn't go anywhere today--no Brusters.
Ian played out in a common sitting area with Grandma--Candyland as usual. I got a nap with Livia during this time and it was wonderful. I stayed up late last night posting to the blog. I tried three times to post and lost the information and had to retype it three different times. Growl.....
Brett comes back tomorrow and I am very excited as is Ian. Grandpa Herbst and Grandma Jenn are coming on Saturday and will be here through Monday afternoon. They are excited to see Ian as well as Livia. Ian is anxious to show them his new trains.
Other than Candyland, we did some preschool things today and read some stories. We had dinner in family kitchen area or as Ian calls it "through the beeping door" which did indeed beep on us tonight as we were not faster than the allotted 15 seconds to make it through. We had pulled pork BBQ tonight and it was a great meal--very much appreciated by us as most of the meals here are spaghetti or lasgana. Ian continues to have a nice appetite and string cheese is the favorite right now along with pretzels.
We did laundry today and tried to tidy up some as well. The floors are all vinyl and show dust mightly. If anything falls on the floor it becomes "gooey and gross" and goes in the trash. This causes some tears for Ian when he drops things like his yogos today. I replaced them.
Meds weren't that big of a battle today which was nice. He likes to suprise me or Grandma with empty syringes. He earned another 3 Thomas stickers today towards another suprise of some sort. He likes to get some Mike and Ike candies as well as the stickers.
He got a bath today and he is somehow not liking getting wet...even hand washing is an issue (thank goodness for germ-x). I got his hair washed and him scrubbed through the protests. After bath, I flushed his PICC line. He has stopped squeeking about that as he has realized that it doesn't hurt....that and he likes to open the syringes and hand me the end of his line.
Labs tomorrow, then a trip to Aunt Beans, and the arrival of daddy so tomorrow should be filled with good things!

Glad to hear that Ian is adjusting to meds and procedures. You both are troopers!
Candi
It sounds like meds are getting easier. Hang in there!
I'm glad Ian's doing so well. We're moving next week so we won't be here when you all get home. Give us a call! I'll still keep track of you with this blog! Call if you need anything.
