He's how old??!!

Bubba is getting soo big!! He turned 9 months old last week! He had an appointment for some more immunizations (4 shots) and he weighs a whopping 20 lbs and is 26" long. He is babbling so much more now. One of my favorite things is when I sing to him, he "sings" with me. It's the cutest thing. He is still behind for his age...which is normal. He has rolled over from front to back but not from back to front. He has the motion of crawling down, but he just doesn't go anywhere. He looks like he's swimming, it's cute. We just started cereals and baby food. That has been quite interesting..the facial expressions alone are hilarious. Z starts physical therapy on the 15th. Im so excited to learn what I can do to help him get ahead.

I am doing better as well. I had another CT scan and the doctor said things are looking better. The clot seems to be dissipating. The new miracle drug I'm trying to get on is slow in coming, but everyday is one day closer. My doctors want to keep my hemoglobin above 14...they're hoping this will prevent me from getting more clots until the drug is available. But in order to keep it above 14 I have to have tranfusions regularly. Tomorrow I will go in for 2 units. (Please donate blood... you never know who's gonna need it) They have also ran my name thruogh the bone marrow transplant registry again, and as of late there are some potential matches!!

I had an interview for radiography school today. I'm hoping to get in. The hospital takes 10 students a year. It's a 2 year certified program through the local hospital. I'm just hoping that it works out. If I end up needing a bone marrow transplant though school won't be happening! I dont mind being sick so much as I hate how it makes me unable to plan anything. Anyway. just wanted to let those of you who read this that I'm alright. :) Hope you're all having a fabulous week.
