Hi All,
I just wanted to let you know that Nick's red blood cell transfusion went fine. He went with Grammy and according to her 'Nick called all the shots'. He told her what to do and what games he wanted to play at clinic. His only complaint was that the transfusion took too long. If that is the only complaint, we'll take it. Grammy bought him a lemonade on the way out. Nick will finish his class today and the 4 of us (Tom will be at daycare) will head into Boston tomorrow for a Red Sox's game. We are very excited about the game since this will be the boys first time to Fenway. As an added bonus we will be going on the field, prior to the game, to watch batting practice. Greg is soooo excited about the experience and the boys think they can play to. This is a new adventure for us and are looking forward to a great game.... Go SOX! Nick has reminded me that he needs a souvenir before we leave the game. It was so funny because Colby asked Nick 'what is a souvenir'. How many 5 yr olds would have to explain to a 6 yr old what a souvenir is? We are crossing our fingers for NO rain tomorrow.
As I mentioned before we will be going to Camp Sunshine next week. The camp starts on Sunday, but since Nick needs chemo on Monday, we will go to clinic first and then drive up after. The boys are looking forward to a 'vacation' in Maine. This weekend we will be busy for us to. The Tomorrow Fund is having a family picnic on Sunday in Warwick, RI. We will be going to the picnic and hopefully seeing some of our friends from clinic. It still amazes me how strong the parents we have met are. These children have cancer or are in remission and yet they let nothing stop them when it comes to playing. They definitely give us strength and help us through the day.
We hope everyone has a great week, I will not be posting another blog until I get back from vacation... I need a little break and we hope to have lots of pictures to share with everyone when we get back. Take Care... Signing off! The Shannon Family
