Round Two

This afternoon went great.  Mark lasted 40 minutes of treatment with minor issues during treatment.  He was so brave.  At one point he had mentioned how scared he was....let's just say that broke my heart.  He seemed to be really run down after treatment and had many visitors awaiting him when he returned to his room.  
Trying to get in the Christmas mood!
We had to move rooms this afternoon, just next door.  We have been here for how many days???  Only two...  I moved so much stuff, I swear it took 20 minutes.  I know I am  being a bit dramatic, but the move was worth it in the end.  This move was necessary so that he will be able to receive dialysis in his room tomorrow and as needed!
I have to say the best part of Mark's day is when Chris a.k.a. Daddy Lion arrived.  Mark was so happy to see him.  He was quiet chatty with Chris and I tonight.
So maybe the elf hat is a little too small?

We did talk a lot about Santa tonight.  We looked out the window for him and tracked him online too.
Mark enjoyed some pasta and sauce for dinner, with pudding and water.  That was his best meal yet! 
 The cookies are out waiting for Santa to arrive.  All I have to say is thank god for Au Bon Pain, and their baked goods!
Mmmmm.......... Santa will be happy with some yummy cookies and a school milk! 


Finally visions of sugar plums are dancing in his head!
