Family Photo

We just had our first post placement visit from our social worker. It went very well and we asked her if she would take the last photo we needed to send in with our report, which is the family photo. This is the best one we got. Amani had actually fallen asleep during the visit!

We had his third chemo treatment yesterday at UCSF and they have now discovered he has a heart murmur. They usually wouldn't be concerned, but it wasn't noticed before. They think it's new which is a concern. After he got through his chemo treatment I had to take him down the street for an EKG. We don't have the results back yet. He isn't loosing his hair and his appetite is good. One of his main chemo drugs is a steroid so we have been experiencing grumpy, aggressive, "amped up" behavior which is not typical for him. Poor guy has a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep nowadays. His naps have all but ended unless we are in the car.

We are headed out to the beach house this weekend with friends and it should be a good time.

Beautiful family pic!!!

Hope all is well with the results of his EKG. Glad his treatment isn't taking too much of a toll on him!! Sorry about the naps though... I had one of those car-nappers only...took lots of LONG drives some days!!
