Watch out for my teeth...and my smile

First things first, as I am sure everyone that reads is wondering, Cutler’s blood work continued to improve.  His platelets increased again and his reading that measures his ability to fight infection is at the minimum level the doctors want to see in order to send him home.  So barring any major issues, tomorrow after his spinal tap we will be bringing Cutler home for a little bit.  While I am still scared to death of him catching something, I am terribly excited to have the entire family together and not sure of the dates yet, but it would be an added bonus to celebrate my birthday without being in the hospital.  Fortunately for us, unfortunately for him, Dr Ghisoli lives right around the corner in case there any issues.  🙂

Today was another excellent day for Cutler and tonight was a great father/son night for the two of us.  He has been incredibly playful and cuddly tonight and I couldn’t get enough of his hugs and he couldn’t give them enough.  It is amazing how much love comes from such a small package.  Cutler also recently found his voice and loves to just lie there and scream out.  I have attached a video below where Cutler and I took turns growling. 

Now, I hate to be Debbie Downer, but I do want to reiterate that this trip home is only temporary and by no means is Cutler cured.  I mention this because it helps me cope with this fact.  I often fear that I have my head buried in the sand and just hear the positives, but I do know that in the end with everyone’s thoughts, prayers, continued support, Cutler’s strength and determination it is God’s will for Cutler to win this fight in a glorious manner as he has greater plans for him in the coming years.
