Athlete

George woke up this morning and immediately hopped out of bed and walked over to his toy corner. Not a wobble, not a hesitation. He hasn’t sat down since. Running at some points throughout the day. Has had zero complaints about any pain anywhere. It’s like it never happened. Another thing to have gone away is a ton more of his hair. I would say it’s about 75% gone now. It’s everywhere. I can only imagine this is what it is like to live with a golden retriever.  His counts are up again today and he is now down to only 2 IV bags on his pole. Since the day we checked in he has been on 7 different bags of medicine at all times. All those lines were really fun to keep untangled with this active boy. He has started taking some of those medicines orally which is what he will be doing when we go home. His journey doesn’t end when we check out of here. He will still be on so many different medications to keep him well. I will save that for another day though. Today we dance with joy that the pain is gone and those legs are back in action. Each day brings on new surprises. Today we celebrate mobility, lack of pain and homemade lint rollers that do a stellar job at keeping our room free of all this excess hair.  Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God.  Psalm 100: 1-3
