Here and there with Asa - July 29, 2014

Wild day around the house and here and there and all over with Asa.  Asa has been venturing more and more to take a few steps by himself.  It's scary.  He has crawled and cruised for so long and then was set back by cancer, so he's just now starting to be strong enough or brave enough to stand independently and take a few brave steps.  We will take those milestones.  

Please pray as we approach chemo this week.  Asa has been a bit sniffly, not too concerning as he's always that way when he plays with the cat or is outside too long, but we want him to be germ and virus free.  We are assuming his counts are at least minimally improved as he's been very active and not bruising.  Please pray we can get in and out of the hospital this week quickly.  We are already so done with that place.  We love the people, but are ready for this segment of Asa's life to be over and return to some normalcy.  Pray for good nurses, good floor docs, good interactions. Pray that sanity stay intact at home and that we are out in time for child dedication Sunday.  Please pray for our friend, Caroline, who's feeling pretty ill with a virus and pneumonia as well.  I know her family would appreciate your prayers.  

Thanks today for happy giggling baby on spite of being drug everywhere.  Happy to see those brave steps and normal development.  Happy to toss Asa on my hip looking out and not have to worry about a tumor.  Glad for peach pie - we're Southern - we eat too much pie - at the end of the day.  It's stress relieving.  Thankful for  a fun visitor that my kids appreciated in all this lockdown.
