Vanderbilt Check Up

Tiffany said his counts are good. His mouth has been hurting so they gave him magic mouth wash. He goes back on the 14th. The chemo he has been getting makes his legs, jaw and fingers hurt. Tiffany said it will start in a couple of days and last for about 3 days. She said with pain meds, it's manageable. They are coming in for the weekend and I am so excited! Tiffany asked Nickolas what he was going to do when he sees me. He said he is going to run to me, slap my hand and pinch me. Regardless of his intentions, I'm still looking forward to seeing them!

Happy Halloween from Clarksville!

The kids went trick or treating for the first time tonight. Tiffany said they had fun. She said Alyssa was a little shy and everybody said how cute they were. I talked to Nickolas and asked if he had fun and he said, "If you come here in your costume, they will give you candy." Then I asked him what kind of candy he got and he said, "All of it!" So cute.

Halloween Costumes!

Nickolas is going to be a doctor for Halloween and Alyssa is going to be Tinkerbell! They loved their costumes. Nickolas says he is going to be a doctor when he grows up. So cute!

Visit to Vanderbilt Today

He did really good with his port today. He helped the nurse and told her what to do. He told her to clean it then he had to take a deep breath then she could access him. Then she told him he could go back to the room and he told her he has to get a sticker first. She laughed and said oh yeah! The Dr. came in and kept saying how cute they were. Nickel did everything she told him to do and they were loving it. There were 3 of them in here. Then nickel had to read his book to the Dr. They loved it. It was the cutest thing ever. It's the book he got in the hospital about the girl with the port. Tiffany has been reading it to him at night.

Here are a few pictures Tiffany has sent from her phone over the last week. I love getting pictures of those cute little guys.

Meeting Andre Lott

Tiffany said Nickolas was so excited to see the UT players. They were able to watch them exercise, then after that they had to go. Before they left Nickolas had his picture made with an ex UT Football Player, Andre Lott. They gave him a football. I talked to Nickolas on the phone after this and he was so excited. I asked about his football. I asked if he would let Alyssa play with it. He said, "Well it is my football and we played with it for a few minutes, but now it's in the back of the car and I can't reach it." Haha.

Back for a Visit. October 17, 2011

Tiffany, Wes and the kids came back tonight for a quick visit. Nickolas had his appointment earlier at Vanderbilt, then they headed this way. Tomorrow morning they are going to go to UT to watch the football team practice. Nickolas is really excited. I was so glad to see them tonight, even if it was only for a short while. They were wound up when they first got here, then they quickly started breaking down. It was getting late. I was able to grab a few good pictures.
