His Fan Club

Wow, did we have a good day at the hospital.
And how fun was that... to get to be able to say that!
Jen was waiting for Kean... her job is to play with the kiddos who have Cancer.
You can tell by his smile that he loves Jen and what a sweet gig she has.
While we were getting Kean's blood draws, we were told we had a visitor...
meet Brooke Linville.  She is a friend of a friend's and after hearing and reading
about Kean asked to see us. 
 She told us the most touching story.  She turned thirty recently and wanted
to do something significant instead of just partying.
So she set out to do 30 acts of kindness.  She created a facebook page
and asked for cards of hope to be sent to Kean.
She also had her son's pre-school class make get well cards for our boy.
These are just a few of the nearly 20 cards she brought-- all so cute and so full of love.
We then met with Dr. Meeker, who told us he just wished all
of their Down syndrome patients could do as well as Kean.
He truly has been amazing in how well he's done.
I completely attribute that to all of the prayers, love and support he has been given.
His counts have plummeted to 330 something.
But he's hanging tough for now.
He did get the first of four consecutive days of Arac (pronounced Air-uh-see).
This one is supposed to kick him pretty hard but takes a couple of weeks.
This will be his second week on the stuff.
But check out how kicked back and comfy he was in the Chemo suite
today waiting to be hooked up.
We put on the movie Cars and I think we have found a new favorite.
Elly was our Chemo date today.
We, of course stopped and hit the Mexican food drive through...
and tried to stuff him full before he follows suit and
loses his appetite from the Chemo for the next several days.
Our little rock star continues to rock.
