Day 70

Bridger’s eyes have done nothing but itch for the last two weeks. We thought it was allergies, possibly a little bit of graft vs. host disease. But on Sunday as I was staring into his beautiful eyes I saw a most peculiar thing. Little jet black hairs are growing in underneath his blond eyebrows, and he looks like he has eyeliner on because he has new little black eyelashes growing in as well. The Dr said that when new hairs grow in it is extremely itchy. Another mystery solved. We also may be getting a big surprise for Thanksgiving we MAY ALL be going home for the weekend! The Dr’s say “It looks like a good possibility” granted nothing comes up between now and then. We haven’t told Bridger yet but are very excited about the possibility and are making plans as if it will happen we are harnessing our powers of positive thinking :). Doyleen has offered to go home with Blake and take on the daunting task of deep cleaning for me. There are some specific guidelines they have given us for prepping the house. I am so blessed to have an awesome mother in law who is able to help. We won’t be able to have visitors or visit anyone in our short trip but I know Bridger will love being at home. We debated if it would be too hard on him to come back to Houston but we will only have two more full weeks (I hope) left when we get back. So we decided it would hopefuly give him a boost and motivation to keep up the hand washing and be good taking his meds.... I think I forget how hard this is on him. He is only six and some times I treat him like a sixteen year old. I am trying to be better at understanding how he is feeling. It seams to make things a little easier, we where also able to decrease his meds again yesterday.
Have a happy day.
