I hope that this finds everyone doing well and fully fed and ready bed after a long Thanksgiving day.  Ours was about what you would expect with having Cutler in the hospital.  Thanks to Fellowship Church for providing the turkey and sides.  Unfortunately I fell sick yesterday with a cold and so yesterday was the last time I have gotten to see Cutler.  So instead today I helped the neighbors fry some turkeys and Mason and I went for a bike ride and then after a late turkey lunch we fell asleep on the floor watching Land Before Time.  Yes, I could not even watch football today so this did not feel like Thanksgiving at all to me.  🙂

As for Cutler, it is looking like the chemo is starting to make its impact on him.  This morning he was his usual playful self, but as the day progressed he lost interest in playing and eating and became increasingly fussy.  His naps have even become less in time and frequency.  This round of chemo is much stronger than either of the two he has experienced to date, so it is no surprise that he is beginning to feel it.  The picture from above is from yesterday morning.  I am currently overdoing it on vitamin C and cold medicine so that I can hopefully get back to the hospital and spend some time with my baby boy as well as do my part up there to help give Melanie and the grandmas some much needed rest.

On this day of thanks I would like to thank everyone for their continued support.  I thank God every day for providing such an incredible support group from our family to our friends and to those that only know us via the blog.  Without knowing we have such a strong network of prayer and people willing to do anything asked is what helps give us strength.  An extra special thanks to all of our family that has been staying with us and helping out in the hospital as well as the family that is here locally with us and always willing to pitch in and help out.  I also am extremely thankful for having such an incredible wife and a four-year old that is being patient and strong beyond his years and most importantly for giving us a baby with the heart, courage, and fight of a lion.

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!
