This morning I had the dressing changed for my central line. It was very painful. But it is necessary to keep it clean. They have to do it once a week.
This is my little buddy Ian. He had a transplant on July 4th. Tomorrow he gets to leave the hospital because he has been doing so well. Good luck to my new friend.
The doctors want me to walk every day to get exercise. Today while walking, I raced my new car with some of my friends from the floor. And look at the great hat Mom and Dad got me --Go Canes!
This evening I got to talk to Anna on the web camera over the Internet. It was way cool! Thank you Anna, Mr. Mike and Ms. Jackie! I can't wait to talk to more friends soon.
When we were done on the camera, my nurse Karie got me some Ramen noodles. They were yummy. (Don't worry the doctor said it was OK).

Hey AJ!
Glad to see you are well enough to get some exercise. I could use some exercise, so walk a couple of laps for me! :)
We are sending you a care package tomorrow, so watch for it! I hope it gets there Friday or Saturday!
Love you bunches!
Hi AJ,
I LOVE Ramen noodles!!! Yummmmm! It was 104 today here--too hot for me! I took my friend and my doggie, Wanda, to the river and we all swam a lot. It was fun, but it's a good thing we brought umbrellas to shield us from the blazing sun. The Snoqualmie River is nice and cold as it is fed by glaciers and snowmelt high up in the mountains. It feels fantastic when it is 104 degrees outside! You were very brave to let them change your dressing--it sounds like you are a terrific patient.
We are praying for you (and cooler temperatures, I admit) every day, AJ. Hugs to you from us...
Love,
Mary Jo & David
I like the hat. We have a new horse and need you to name her so thing of a good name. I'll send pictures when I can. Gary
Great to see you up and around! Sorry about the central line. But sounds like you did great. We know your a great influence with Ian. Keep up the great work.
Our prayers are with you.'

You're a champ, AJ! I know it is tough sometimes being in the hospital, but you are definitely making the best of the situation. Your courage and strength are contagious, which is a very good thing.
Stay strong,
Ben McArthur
AJ - I love the Canes hat! I can't wait to see all the crazy hats you got! What are you going to do with the hats when you get back home? How many laps around the floor are you up to now? Tell us everything. Love you lots, Aunt Vanessa
I am not a Canes fan, but I am totally digging the hat, dude. Ian was very lucky to meet you. Iam sure you helped the make his last few days at the hospital more fun. You are an awesome 8 year old.
Love,
Tatum
Gary:
What does the horse look like? Can you email me a picture?

P.S. I never found out who Farmer G was.
Hi AJ,
Sounds like you had a bit of a rough day with the bandage changing. You are very brave. We love your hat and can't wait to see more...and your Jimmy Johnson stuff is awesome. He's been doing really well lately.
Keep your chin up, and keep smiling!!
Sharon and Brielle ♥♥♥
Hi AJ and Hi to your mom & dad & brothers too,
We are so glad to see that you & Austin were able to be up and around. You and Austin are very brave boys and very lucky to have each other. Love the hat! You weren't kidding about having some crazy hats! Hang in there & stay positive. We enjoy being able to see you you're doing on the blog.
We continue to pray for all of you & miss you,
Andrew, Alex, Michelle, & Mike Balazsy
Hi AJ! We are all proud of you for being such a strong and brave boy! Keep modeling the hats for us so that we can see how handsome you look in them :-) We love you a whole bunch!!!

Hey AJ - I saw on your mom's facebook page that you were up playing hoops and the doctor seemed impressed. I am too - hope you continue to do well, feel well and be well. Thinking of you from Florida....
love,
Nicki
Hi AJ,
That little Ian is lucky to have a big, brave buddy like you. That remote control car looks really fun too! I love the Canes hat...that bird can't poop on your head can he? Ha ha...just kidding. Your nurses look really cool. Maybe when you get home you can give me some tips on how to be a great nurse. I will be a little nervous going back to nursing school. I hope you have sweet dreams tonight and feel good tomorrow!
Love you lots and lots,
Lindsay
