Chemo Round 3 :: Here We Are

Easter Egg Hunt. Car Trouble. Limbo, limbo, limbo.  An eventful way to spend our last few days together at home until sometime next month. Sure, we could easily have done without the car trouble -- a problem with the mass air sensor that landed me, Jade, Lil Jay, and Grandma on the side of the road for an hour yesterday and an unexpected expense.  But we could not have done without Monday's Easter Egg Hunt on our front lawn (Lil Jay has been asking about it for almost a month) or tonight's limbo contest (another suggestion from Lil Jay). Dizzying laughter, wet kisses on sweaty little foreheads, a sense of love and togetherness in the air that you could almost touch, and a prayer for Jade's complete healing... Can't imagine spending the eve of Jade's return to the hospital any other way.  Children's National Medical Center, Hematology/Oncology Unit, Chemo Round 3, 11AM... Here we are.
  

Jade swoops in from behind to seize her first egg! Sorry, Lil Jay.


Jade wasn't ready to accept that they had collected all the eggs... maybe the neighbors have some?


Daddy, we're pretty sure you're out.


Another one bites the dust...

We'll bend the rules a little bit for you.
