Day 10: First Crazy Hat

Day 10 was a slow day. AJ needed a red blood transfusion so he was hooked up to the infusion pump for a good portion of the day. That meant he was in his room for much of the day and there was not a lot of fun play time with his friends on the floor. Instead there was a lot of TV watching and board game playing to pass the time. We do however have a first crazy hat:


YIKES!!

Back home a large branch fell off a pine tree in the yard, crushing a section of fence. Thank you to Billy, Doug and Grammy who removed the branch and patched up the fence. Last night was also orientation for Ryan and Austin who start kindergarten next week. Thank you to Tammy and all the others who helped Grammy navigate the halls of Horizon.

Hey AJ, you and dad look really cute bald. And, I am excited to see pictures of your hat collection every day. I noticed in this last picture that you have "The Diary of A Wimpy Kid" book. My son, Trevor has that same book! COOL.
Anyways, Trevor is at his Grammy's house now too. I have to work so she is hanging out with him for a few days while I am away. As soon as he comes home, I plan on showing him your blog and I will get him to write you.
Keep doing what you are doing. It's nice to see you smiling in all the pictures that mom and dad post!

WOW! What a crazy hat!!! Shayla has the Diary of a Whimpy Kid books. She loved them! We got them at the book fair at her school last year. We are glad that you are doing so well! Keep up the great work! We love you!

Awesome hat, AJ! It looks great on you! I have never heard of someone having so much fun in the hospital. I know it's because you are being so brave and because your parents and friends love you so much. We will keep praying and cheering for you until you get back home!

Lots of love from your friends,
Ben Sam Lily Freddie & Addy McArthur

Hi AJ,
I have not written for a while since Pop Pop and I saw you on the webcam almost everyday while taking care of Austin, Ryan and Jack for the last couple of weeks. Now that we are back in NJ we are trying to set up the webcam but had some difficulty switching to Spyke on my computer last night and that is why we called a little late. Sorry you were feeling very tired. We will try again this weekend.
You and daddy look awsome with your shaved heads. We are so proud of both of you. Love,

Grandma and Pop Pop

AJ,
What a cool hat! I may need to borrow that for the first day of school! Do you think my second graders would like it? :) I may scare a few away! Oh no!

You'll have to let me know if "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is good. I don't have those books for my class yet. Let me know if I should get them!

Glad to see you with smiles on your face all the time! You rock!
Love you,
Mrs. Claxton

Hi AJ,
I am a friend of Aunt Vicki's and take care of your mom and dad's insurance. You are such a brave little man and have such good taste in books. My son, Cason is 9 and LOVES the Wimpy Kid Books. I can send the whole collection if you need them... LOVE the hats!
