Here are some new, beautiful shots of Matthias.

The family has gathered for Grandpa's 70th birthday. Isaiah's feeling strong and loving time with his cousins. We just stayed up late watching "Dirty Jobs" to pass the time while Isaiah waited to take his chemo. TV...what a concept.

4. I've heard of a cat ... but not a rock star sheep!

pumpkins

Here's a shot of the kids' pumpkins.

We helped with the Fall Carnival at Foskett Ranch. The kids went as Bo Peep and a Sheep!

At Sutter. Bone scan results good: no new fractures and density has increased! Blood counts: 2100! Now off to dermatologist.

silly craziness

We engaged in all manner of hilarity with the computer tonight! (It will probably take a while to get to bed now.)



We've got a regular blood test and check in Wednesday, followed by a dermatology appointment to try to figure out a persistent rash which has been bothering Isaiah. He feels pretty good most of the time. (Mom and Dad are running on empty - not enough sleep!)

pumpkin patch

The kids enjoyed a Friday afternoon at the pumpkin patch.

Isaiah felt great despite receiving two kinds of chemo - one through his port, one in his spinal column - less than 24 hours earlier. He's amazingly resilient.

Love this pic. Thanks to Angela for the photos.
