Out and about and off to clinic - July 23, 2014

Out and about with Asa.  We are supposed to be locked down, but made a clandestine trip to the orthodontist and snagged bread at the grocery store.  And then Asa just played the rest of the day.  He's getting very brave and getting into everything and was the last person seen with the espresso steam pitcher yesterday in the kitchen, an item that is now mysteriously missing. 😣 We find ourselves rubbing his head much of the day because you just can't help it.  It's like rubbing a soft, fuzzy peach or like teasing a kid and running your hair over the top of his buzz cut.  But, in this case, you enjoy it so much because Asa has just been so very bald.

Tomorrow is clinic and outpatient chemo day.  Please pray for calm and uneventful.  It's likely to be a long day as Asa typically gets blood this week before inpatient chemo and we have an additional follow up appointment with another child regarding an old issue.  Pray for travel safeties in crazy Houston and the crowd at home holding down the fort, trying not to go stir crazy.  Other friends are on mend, but would appreciate prayers.  Please pray we stay well as well.  Some of us still have allergies and coughs.

Thanks today for God's provision in our crazy summer/cancer schedule.  It's the little stuff, little time savers that make this not so awful. Thanks for milkshakes and lemon slush with kids and cooking with girlies, sofa time with hubby.  And slobber kisses, fake laughing, and fuzzy heads.
