Our Hospital Reward

Today was one of those days where if I let myself, I'd mow my fingernails

down to nothing.

We had Kean's cancer screenings.

And even though we are now just over a year out, it still scares

the spit out of me to have to wait for his results.

Kean, of course, wasn't nervous one bit.

In fact, he fell asleep in the car and snoozed through

much of our wait to start the tests.

 It was kind of rude of us to wake him up just in time to 

stick a needle in his arm for blood samples.

But he was a trooper.

If anything, he had a harder time holding still for vitals.

That is, until we gave him a little dog to put the blood pressure

cuff onto.  He liked that.

 The clinic was getting used to a new computer system

so we had an extra amount of waiting.

Kean just decided to look cute while we waited.

 He kind of gets me with that toothless smile.

And all the waiting sure paid off. 

 Kean's counts are getting better and better

with each month.

In fact, drum roll please... we now only

have to go into the hospital for testing

every THREE months.

Christmas came a little early for this mama.
