Steroid Baby

It's official. Henry does steroids. I think this may rule him out for any future Olympic activities. His face has the typical steroid "moon face". While some of those cheeks are pudding, most of it is from the steroids. But, the next round of chemo doesn't involve steroids, so better to bulk him up now.

Each day is getting worse for him. He's more tired, more cranky, more pathetic. He has no white blood cells, which can make him feel horrible and achy, but we can't give too much Tylenol, for worry that we will hide a fever, a sign of infection. Today, we tried Ativan. Then he played and played, at least for a little while.

The hospital is so great with Owen. They have art and play activities almost every day. While this is mostly geared toward patients, they open arm welcome Owen to them. He got to paint a birdhouse last Thursday.

Trial bath #2.

He didn't like that one either.

Suzi and Henry... Henry got pink face from Suzi's sweater. A perfect combination of sticky pudding face and fuzzy pink sweater.

I love his eyes.
