It's been nice to be at home for a bit. Eric was able to go to his swimming lesson on Sunday for the first time in many weeks and we also were able to book him a make up lesson on Monday. His instructor was so impressed with his strokes, including "recognizable" butterfly and flip turns, that he completed Shark 1 and moved up to Shark 2!
Joel's been away at an overnight camp all week and Eric is enjoying being on his own for the week. He had a friend over one afternoon and we went to Buntzen Lake with some friends another day. I asked Eric to make dinner one night and he chose to learn to make homemade mac and cheese and it was delicious! We picked blackberries and Eric wants to make a pie! Actually I think he wants me to make a pie, but we'll see...
Eric had his check up at clinic this week on Wednesday. The platelets had been pre-ordered but when his bloodwork came back we discovered that he also needed red blood cells. It wasn't terribly surprising as he'd been a little headache-y the evening before and was quite pale. We ended up being at the hospital for 5.5 hours, but our wonderful Child Life Specialist gifted Eric a LEGO set and we were happy to chill there for awhile. The only downside was the traffic on the way home since we ended up hitting rush hour.
We're picking up Joel this afternoon and then home for exactly one more week. We leave next Friday for Camp Goodtimes Family Camp on Vancouver Island. Eric finishes his oral treatment on Sunday and next week he is in clinic both Monday and Thursday to get all topped up before camp.
