On Saturday, Henry started the "big gun" chemotherapy. We dressed him up for the occasion.
Tiffany was in town for the weekend, hence a family of four picture. Owen is in love with the green "swabbies" that we use to give some mouthwash to Henry. He brushes his teeth endlessly with them. (that's what's in his hand)
Beautiful eyes.

Brothers.
Hospital life is tough.

This is one of the many chemo drugs Henry gets through his IV. This is the prettiest one. Looks like Cool-Aid.
Bob-Bob feeding Henry his FAVORITE food... pudding.
Overall, he's tolerating chemo better than we thought. No puking yet, just maybe a little more tired, but still playing... still my sweet Henry. Our oncologist is happy with how well he's doing... so far, he's doing well. And that's all I can focus on. Today, this weekend was a good weekend. Today was a good day.

Enjoyed the pictures so much - thanks for taking the time out of your busy busy life to keep us all updated....you rock as a Moommy and daughter, Marla!
to add to being an awesome mommy and daughter, you are also an excellent cousin-in-law (and lucas is a great cousin-in-law(in-law?).
thanks for the updates - i love that you dressed henry up for the start of big guns chemo!
if henry continues his pudding obsession, i'm going to have to start calling him "snack pack" (like they called ditka "juice box" in kicking and screaming). did you tell him they also have jello at hospitals? i would recommend it.
Marla,
What gorgeous photos of you all, and thanks for keeping us up to date.
Lucas,
Thanks for the photo of Tony and Henry.
I could only squeeze out one unit of platelets last time. Will try to do better next time. I know I can't give them directly to Henry, but I can give them in honor of Henry, which I am happy to do.
I'll follow you on CaringBridge.
All love,
Carol Alice
