Snow, snow and more snow was what we saw yesterday. It was still here this morning but didn't take long for it to be gone. We are starting to wonder if spring will ever arrive or if we are going to jump straight to summer.
Nathan had a good day yesterday. I had to work so he was home with Justin and Grandma Elsie. Today was an emotional day for Nathan. The steroids have really adjusted Nathan's hormones. He was very contemplative and reminiscent today. He asked me if I remembered several past events and how much fun they were. Nathan also mentioned that he missed the old house. What he misses is the toys being readily available and under his feet. Unlike here were he needs to go get them to bring to play. Hopefully this will pass.
On the way to the clinic I realized we packed everything but his DS. When asked if he wanted me to go home to get it he said no. So onward we went. Nathan was the only patient this morning so it was extremely quiet. But once we walked into the nurses room, he couldn't proceed without his DS. I tried to convince him that he could do this and he said he couldn't. A kind gentleman even tried to offer Nathan his watch so that Nathan could time the nurses but that didn't fly. So we asked the nurses if there would be any problems with us running back to get the DS and they said no. They were extremely understanding.
The bright side to forgetting the DS was that we stopped at Tim Horton's to get a hot chocolate for Nathan, a coffee for me and muffins for the nurses.
Nathan didn't want to get the leg needles, even with his DS in hand. As soon as he heard needles when in the nurses room he tried to walk out as he started crying but my arms greeted him into a hug. It took only a little convincing and he was good to go. It is strange though how some days it just doesn't hurt and there are no marks left. Today it hurt, he cried and there were marks at the site of the injection. Once this was done he received plasma and to comfort him, since he was missing Arron lots today, we picked Arron up for lunch. We then picked up a few groceries and stopped at the library. We used to go to the library regularly with frequent trips to the Tuesday night story time. Since Nathan got sick we haven't been to the library so today we stopped. I never knew Nathan enjoyed going until today.
Nathan has reverted back to the "I am not staying without you" and "I go where you go" temperament. His stomach seems most queasy at supper time. Nathan did eat well today but skipped supper again. It could have been due to the huge bowl of blueberries he ate around 4pm.
We took the boys for a bike ride tonight to find the parks in our area. Nathan and Justin rode in the bike trailer. With all the open fields and designated roads still dirt, Carter thought it was great to go "off roading". The weekend looks to be quiet. We hope everyone has a safe and relaxing long weekend.
