my rock star

so jack has had a rough fall in regards to ear infections and viruses. it seems he gets better and then a week later he has picked up something new. we're hoping that a booster of the pneumococcal vaccine will help him fend this pesky viruses off better, but we're also researching some other possible causes. in the meantime, after just finishing up yet another antibiotic, jack has picked up a new virus. back to the dr. we went this morning. jack was just hoping that he wouldn't miss his 2nd pajama day at school, and i was just hoping it wasn't another ear infection!? turns out his ears look great, but he has picked up a new virus. with no signs of a fever today, the dr. gave him the "ok" to go to pajama day! now comes the rock star part...i prepped jack as best i could that he would have to have more blood taken today, and despite being very apprehensive, he did awesome. there were no tears and cooperated completely. i hate seeing him have to go through all this, but he is such a trooper and with any luck we'll get all of this figured out and it will be a long, long time before he has to give blood again:)

Hi Jack,

I can't believe how grown up yo are getting. Tonight we talked on the phone and you couldn't stop talking to all of us. It was so sweet to hear you tell us all about hockey and about your upcoming game.
You are so excited and it's awesome to know how much you enjoy playing.

Uncle Tim and mom said you are getting better each time you are on the ice. I can't wait to see you play. It will bring back memories of watching Uncle Timmy play too.

A I watch you grow, I want you to know how much we love you. You are always kind to your sister, and you love to help. You are a very good worker and you do a good job at whatever you are helping with.

You have a great sense of humor and you always makes us laugh. It is very quiet here at our house now that you aren't here. We miss you very much and can't wait to see you.

You are mu BFF and I love you like crazy cakes. I hope you never change. You are a kind, smart, happy, adventurous, and fun guy.
Skate like the wind..Love,
MiMi XXXOOO
