A little holiday cheer

We had a rough week, last week. Blake was sick, then Carson was sick. Plus my aunt passed away. So it was one busy week. But this week we are living it up! Enjoying the holiday cheer.
The amazing people at Make a Wish Utah and KBER 101 allowed us to go on the Polar Express. They had us all meet at their station, get on BIG buses and ride up to Heber. Who would have thought that Carson's favorite part of the day... Riding the bus.
 
 These 2 guys rock they are amazing!  They look like they are scared to death, but they are holding on to their toys so no one else could get them! They love the trucks and were super happy to get a present! THANK YOU Kber and Make a wish for a wonderful day!
 
 After we got home from the KBER- Polar Express, we got to go to CCCF. Children's Christmas Cancer Fund. These people are beyond amazing as well. They have it organized and down to a science on how things should go. They allow the kids to pick out presents. Blake wasn't feeling well so Carson picked out a camera for himself, and play-doh for his brother. :) They also gave us a turkey. These people are amazing people and I can't say thank you enough to them!
 Does this look like pee? This is one of his chemos he gets but to me it looks like pee!
And what would a hospital visit be with out the NOSE! He loves to give us the nose it is like his way of saying CANCER sucks! :)


Today at the hospital Caron had to get an ECHO and EKG to make sure his heart was fine! It is. :) We also talked to the doctor about his limbs falling asleep and why it is so painful for him. If his arm or leg falls asleep he cries hard for a good 20+ minutes. They think it could be a side effect from the VINC(a chemo) and they are going to watch it. VINC can cause nerve damage so we will watch and see and maybe start him on a medication that can numb his nerves. I hope the next few days will be easy on him. We are staying up on nausea medication, and drinking plenty of fluids.
