Today was Grammy’s first day on the job here on the 12th floor, and as you can see from the photo, she and Cutler had a great time!  Thanks again to my stepmom, Barbara, who willingly stepped up to help us out when Aaron’s mom had to go home unexpectedly.  I will let Aaron post tomorrow about his mom’s back.  Cutler had another good day, although he isn’t quite 100% just yet.  The doctors are pleased with his progress thus far, and we’re thankful everything Cutler is experiencing was fully expected – no surprises!  No discussion of when he might come home…perhaps we’ll get the nerve up to ask in a week or so. 

No fever and little pain, he prefers someone to hold him and read him books rather than play.  I imagine that will change in another couple of days.  Aaron and Mason had a special day which Aaron will tell everyone about as well as post a picture of Mason on Santa’s lap.  Right now Cutler is sleeping peacefully and I am hopeful for a good night’s sleep? 

Thanks for the continued prayers and comments on the blog.  This gives us the encouragement to type at night when we’d rather be resting or sleeping!  Please pray for Lucas Gebert, Cutler’s cancer twin (same type of AML, Lucas is a few months older than Cutler), that his appetite increases and he maintains good health so he can go home for Christmas.
