Well Tash's lab results came back and they look great! For a few weeks now we have tried planning a trip to Atlanta, the halfway point between Memphis and Orlando, and where my parents live. The past few times, the girls were healthy but Tash's counts weren't high enough to be able to travel. There are a ton of logistics going into these plans and everything has to work out perfectly for us to be able to execute this grand plan of all of us being TOGETHER for a couple of days. This time Tash's counts look great and were high enough for him to travel. Unfortunately God has another plan for us as both girls came down with a virus and are now on breathing treatments. Needless to say there is no way Tash can be anywhere near them...to say I am disappointed is an understatement. I haven't held my girls since January 4th....100 days to be exact. I trust that God has a plan for us to reunite (I sure hope he has that penciled in pretty soon!) I keep telling myself there is a reason we aren't able to see each other this weekend maybe it's preventing us from being involved in a car accident, or Tash spiking a fever when we are away from our doctors, or worse him catching something from the girls that would delay his treatment. So we will focus on the positive, his counts look good so we will start his HDMTX #4 on Tuesday. This will be his final HDMTX before we move into the next phase of his treatment.

| I mean...does it get any cuter than this? |
Little man has been fussy this past week because he's TEETHING! This child is chewing (yes chewing) on his fingers non-stop. We've tried to give him a proper teether but he spits it out. He loves to shove his stuffed toys in his mouth or if you give him a blanket, he's good for about 2-3 minutes then we start the cycle again. Poor baby was neutropenic all week so we weren't able to give him Tylenol as it would mask a fever if he had one. So orajel and morphine it is (eek). We’ve only administered the morphine twice when he was just completely unconsolable. But more good news, today his ANC is 600 so as long as he isn't running a fever we can give him Tylenol if he needs it. Please pray that he doesn't run a fever so we can help alleviate his teething pain.

His weekly therapy sessions are going great! He's SOOO close to rolling over on his own, which I'm still not sure that I'm excited about. There is something to be said for being able to put him down and know he's not going anywhere. Lord knows the girls were mobile way early and it has been working in our favor that he is NOT. Buuuuut I know we need to keep his development moving forward so we do practice tummy time multiple times a day (thank you Mimi). He loves watching himself in the mirror so he had a blast in therapy on Tuesday with the ginormous mirror.
