Quilts for Leukemia

Not sure what my kids did to my camera but the settings were all messed up! I took some pictures of Tristan opening his mail/package today and they all came out blurry.

We were blessed to receive a quilt from Quilts for Leukemia.
It is perfectly beautiful! Very "manly" looking for my strong and mighty boy! He loved it! Here he is hiding from Grandpa in it right away. Everything is a tent with this little guy.

The other day I was printing out blog posts for a binder. Just to have them and read them offline etc. I was reading how "I wish for my boy to be normal again, to be jumping off my couch, ripping down my curtains and just being the boy he was" When we were going through a rough spot in his treatment. I want to tell everyone who prayed... your prayers were answered! Tristan makes me cringe all the time when I turn around to him flying from couch to love seat, or I hear him call "mom, I am doing something dangerous!" He is a total boy! And I thank God every min for it!

Tomorrow he goes to clinic. I have a trick I use. His sister spends the night at my moms because we leave early in the morning. I let him sleep with mommy and I take his shirt off to sleep. And then make sure he is warm of course. Then in the morning before he ever wakes up, I slap the numbing cream on his mediport. It is the easiest way I have found to get it on him without a meltdown. Sure, it is a rude awakening for him, but it does the trick. Anyways, here he is sleeping in mommy's bed with his new quilt.

And then I took close ups for everyone to see.

I think it is just perfect! Something he can cherish when he is older and looks back on his miracle of a life! Because it is such a nice color/design. Thank you very much Quilts 4 Leukaemia!!!
