Today goes down in the books as the "driving day". We spent most of our waking hours in a car and many of those hours stopped on a Freeway that was closed due to a semi-wreck that blocked all lanes southbound on I-5 at the I-90 on ramp, we were on I-5 headed for the I-90 on ramp. Of course, you say, if you have read this blog for anytime at all you know that every Chemo trip involves a reason for me to drive on the EAST side of the state. We spent 6 1/4 hours driving Sammi to the Easton exit to meet my Mom who took her home so she can go to softball practice tomorrow and her game on Saturday---for me it was totally not worth it, to 15 year old Sammi playing high school softball it was totally worth it. We did good the first few hours on the road, singing, dancing in the car even getting a landscaping truck in the lane next to us to dance along and copy our moves! Then we got bored, then hungry (we left the hospital after Chemo at 2:30 intending to eat lunch in Issaquah on our way to meet Grandma and drop off Sammi) luckily we broke into the snacks I was going to send with Sammi to her softball game.
On a happier note, no headache for our buddy Jackson today! Yippee!!
Sammi putting his hospital bracelets on.
Carter in his favorite room at Children's Hospital---the siblings play room. I'm thinking the wii has a big part to play in the favorite status.
Jackson took a picture of this car, front and back and we had fun waving at the girls driving it. We were wishing it was different things---Jax wished it was a Gatorade car, me a diet coke car, Carter and Sierra thought it should be a sierra mist car.....alas our wishing brought us no liquid refreshment.
When I finally got the poor kiddos lunch it was 5 pm! Then we drove to get rid of Sammi-girl and Carter threw up---he might of gorged himself because he was so hungry when he finally got to eat. After dropping off Sammi we headed back to Seattle grabbed Michael and had dinner at 8 pm. We are so fashionable and big city-ish! Jackson has done good today--just a little sick to his tummy, still no headache!
