Blake and Alexia

Blake's first visit to the Omaha Children's Museum
Blake has been enjoying the things that most kids take for granted. He got to go to the Omaha Children's Museum for the first time. We planned on taking him a lot, but he was diagnosed with Leukemia and was unable to go until now. His immune system is doing great now and he has received his vaccinations for both the flu and H1N1. Both vaccinations were in shot form as they do not give the mist to high risk patients and both vaccinations were necessary since someone on chemo is considered high risk.

Blake really enjoyed playing at Children's museum with one of our family friends and his baby sister!
Blake and Alexia have been playing together a lot lately. I have never seen such a devoted, kind big brother or such an adoring little sister. We are so blessed to have both of them in our lives and are amazed every day at how well they interact with each other. I really hope they continue to be close throughout their lives.
Blake loves his Grandma and Me day once a week when he gets to spend the day with Grandma and Grandpa without anybody else. Last week it was nice enough for them to go to the playground together and Blake talked about it for days. He is also very excited to dress up for Halloween. He picked out his own costume and can't wait to go to Trunk or Treat!!!
We have also been putting this announcement off until we were completely sure, but Blake is completely potty trained!!!! He would have accomplished this goal MUCH earlier in his life, but because of the side effects of some of his medications and because of the heavy fluids he got through an IV through the last few months, we had some setbacks. We were told that the same things happen to older kids who are undergoing chemotherapy, so this is just one of those things that comes with the territory. Either way we are SO PROUD of our big boy! He was able to overcome all of the obstacles!!!
