May 19th.. the day of mom!
Today was another great day! I got up this morning and went to school, I had show and tell today and brought a new bionicle that we built. Very cool. Then dad#2 picked me up after school and we went for lunch and picked mom up a surprise birthday cake!
We arrived home and I had a huge nap, 3 hours!! I woke up in time for a rib feast and then we all got to go the Vancouver Aquarium for Dream Night. They opened the aquarium to sick kids from children's hospital and we got to touch and hold crabs, sea erchants, star fish, hermit crabs, and a sea cucumber. It was crazy! We saw a dolphin and bulga show and a lady diving in the deep sea tank. There was face painting, tattoos, Fin the mascot from the Canucks and more! It was awesome. The only reason I was allowed to go was because my counts are so good. Mom was constantly washing my hands with gel and wipes and we all had a huge scrub when we got home. But it was so worth it! Too fun!
We're taking this week slow slow slow as Friday is going to be hard. The first really aggressive chemo will begin and I'll have to be at the hospital for about 8 hours Friday, 2-4 hours Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The schedule goes on for 56 days. So we're taking this week of feeling fantastic slow, slow, slow. Nana's coming down Thursday to help out! Yay Nana!!
Big Thank you to the First Lutheran Church and School! The foundation you've created for us is amazing and we are truly grateful!
Thanks thanks thanks to the Baliski's for everything for us, Laura for mom's super cool flowers, Anne and Ron for the beautiful basket, Deb for "fun glasses" mom calls them, and all mom's birthday wishes. To anyone else we may have missed, Thank you!
I'm off to school tomorrow, mom off to work and then plans for a kite flying evening tomorrow night. Hope it's windy!

Wow, was the Aquarium cool or what! I can't wait to tell Dominic all about your adventure tomorrow. He's in bed right now :).
ReplyDeleteHave a great day at school Wednesday. Dominic had to write a journal about what he did last weekend. He wrote about his camping trip and drew a picture of him playing grounders at the playground at the campground.
What a great day Aiden! It must have been super cool to see and hold all of those sea creatures. The aquarium is one of Owen' s and Jack's favorite places to go. They are gonna think you are a lucky guy! You'll have to tell them all about it sometime.
ReplyDeleteThat was sure great of you to get your Mum a cake for her birthday, I hope you had a big piece too!
Take care buddy, we really enjoy hearing about your days and your adventures, we read them over breakfast.
Love, Kelley, Rick, Owen and Jack
