Playtime!

Just thought you may like to see how much fun James had with mommy and daddy today in the ChildLife Playroom on the Pediatric wing of MDA. He loved this puzzle and was able to take it back to his room.
He even made time to run over with a spontaneous hug for mommy....sweetest boy!
Reaching on his tippy-toes.....
Priceless, precious smiles! From underneath the lifesaving paci. Ironically enough, two weeks before, James was being coerced to only use that at sleep times. Now it serves as a great comfort and as a handy way to keep potentially germy objects from going straight to his mouth. What a blessing! Lots of love for daddy!
Today was a good day.
Pray that tomorrow is as well. James may be receiving some more platelets as his numbers are nearing the lower end again for those. That way he is ready for his BMA(bone marrow aspiration, checking to see how the chemo is destroying those blast cells) on Friday.
Pray continually!

Sweet, beautiful pictures of James! (and of mommy and daddy!) It is so nice to see James playing and smiling, and to be reminded that he is the same sweet James we saw a few weeks ago with his bright smile.

We just received our recent issue of U.S. News and World Report showing MD Anderson as the top cancer treatment center in the nation - amazing, as Steph pointed out.

We will be in prayer for those blast counts and will wait for that good report!
Love, Jana & Craig

Dude James, I'm jealous man. The playroom at MDA is sweet. Too bad they didn't have a 360. Don't worry buddy, one day, I'll pass on all my knowledge. Keep on representin'! You is da man!
