Day 22

Hi Everyone,

      Happy Friday!! It's going to be a nice three day weekend. The only down side to it is that me and little Charlie are sick. I have a horrible cough and don't feel all that great. Charlie has gone to Kapolei to stay at his parents house until we are better. I am so frustrated because out of all times to be sick it has to be right now. I am going to rest and drink lots of fluids and hope it's gone by this weekend. Right now Charlie needs to stay healthy and avoid sickness. Please for for us and that Charlie will remain healthy. Today Charlie got his first batch of hats in the mail. I am waiting for him to send me pictures of them. I will probably post them in tomorrow blog. He is so happy that Jenn came up with this hat party idea. It's so nice of all of you to send him hats! Charlie isn't too upset that he is losing his hair, but he doesn't like it. I volunteered to shave my head to make him feel better so he is not the only bald one...but he said no. I was hoping that he would say yes because Karen made a promise that if I did it, she would too. I really wanted her to shave her head! Charlie is handling all of this very well. There are so many changes going on with his body that it can be a little discouraging at times. I give Charlie so much credit for being so strong and positive through this battle. I know he feels like everyone is staring at him wherever her goes. Truth is, no would know just by looking at him that he has cancer. He is still the same ol' Charlie. Right now there are donation sites and fundrasing sites that the family has started. In tomorrows post I will provide links to the websites and where you can donate if any of you want to. We thank you all again for the outpouring of love and support. You guys really do rock. We love you all!
