A New Grocery List



One of the things that happens when Joshua's blood counts drop is that he has to be put on a restrictive diet. On that diet, he can't have fruit because of the rare case that there might be some bacteria in it. It's always a good day when his blood counts are up to the point when he is not 'neutropenic' meaning he is restricted on what he can eat.

Last night he destroyed pineapple, bananas, strawberries, and grapes.

Love that fruit pic!!! Get it, Joshua!

Joshua is looking more and more like a "big boy." Has he gotten taller?

Joshua looks so great! We are so glad you are doing well. Charlie does miss playing with Joshua, but we're glad you're not here with us. Hope to see you all soon on terms outside these hospital walls!
