AIM Days 48-53

No, we haven't forgotten to post but we have been rather busy. Nathan hasn't had any treatments for a week and so we have had almost a normal type of life. That means we were busy; settling into our house, taking Nathan to a couple of soccer practices, taking Carter to both soccer and baseball practices and taking Justin to spectate when his brothers are busy. Life.

Nathan has been feeling well though. I know he sometimes forgets that he is undergoing treatments and has stuff going on as he will yelp when he bangs his port against something, or he will bruise really easy as he bangs around like any boy does and then ask why he has bruises. Nathan also lost his second tooth and was excited that the tooth fairy found our new house. Also, on Saturday night we had our second annual Miller/Mcleod hockey draft. The kids were all very excited and we almost held their attention while they picked all of their players! The last couple of rounds got more difficult. Sunday evening we went kite flying. One of the benefits of having no yard means we have no fences and nor does anyone else. So we flew our kites and walked down to the end of the development, up and over a big dirt hill, to the sort of lake and back again, all while keeping our kites in the air. Oh, the downside of the new development is no trees (or houses) to block the wind, but the plus was that it was great for kite flying!

This is another week without treatment, Nathan starts a new phase next Monday. We'll talk about that more as it gets closer.
