Day 10

Hi Everyone,

Happy Fathers Day to all you amazing dads out there! It's too bad that Charlie has to spend his first Fathers Day in the hospital. This is one he will never forget. We had a nice family lunch today in the cafeteria. Unfortunalely Jeff couldn't make it, he had to work a double.It's convenient that Charlies room is right down the hall from the cafeteria. We ate delicious sandwiches from Stortos and chit chatted all about little Charlie. He is getting so big. This is the first time that I am writing the blog at the hospital. Right now we are watching Shaw Shank Redemtion while Charlie gets his blood transfusion. We have a yummy dinner awaiting us. Chuck made tri tip steak for dinner tonight and Karen made upside-down pineapple cake for dessert. I can't wait to eat it! They brought a big cooler with it and we can warm it up when we are ready. We are happy that Charlie has an appetite. He is tolerating the chemotherapy very well. We are all so proud of him. On Tuesday he will have another spinal tap where he will have the chemo injected into his spine. We are getting to know all the nurses and hospital staff and are happy that they keep him comfortable. Charlie will get one more blood transfusion tonight. It usually takes three hours for each bag to go in. I think it's pretty cool how it works. I have pictures to post, but I will wait to post them tomorrow since I don't have the camera cord with me. Overall it was a great day and a memorable Fathers Day. Stay tuned for pictures tomorrow and another days blog.
