Well, we made it back from Halifax; Dalton did well with his chemo and spinal tap a gain, and the doctor on duty was one he hasn't seen since last summer. Dr. Price had gone on Maternity Leave, so it was nice to see her back. She had a young resident with her, and was overjoyed to see how well Dalton was doing, explaining to him about his Summer when he first came to IWK... and being the textbook case of everything-that-could-go-wrong-did kid!
He is always a bit grumpy and unsure of examinations down there, but when you consider he's always cut of food when they see him, I guess he has good reason to be grumpy! Thankfully, a great visit from Buddington the clown cheered him up.
We checked out the Halifax Citadel on this visit...it was freezing cold up there! and we went to the Freaky Lunchbox...a little shop we were told about that specializes in retro-candy and odd practical jokes. Right up Dalton's alley! Of course, we went to IMAX and saw the new Harry Potter movie. Dalton loved it...kind of sad the one next summer will be the last one in the series. Dalton has grown up on Harry Potter and his friends; and end of an era in his childhood for sure. How sad!
Dalton's pal Malachi went in for his next lung surgery Thursday, and appears to be doing well. He is such a strong kid, but I have learned all these kids are incredibly brave in their own way.
Sara got her wish granted this week! Pretty exciting! She'll be headed to Jamaica next spring.
Now off to get ready for Christmas Market.Dalton has been busily getting things ready...chocolate lobster suckers, reindeer candy canes and he'll have some craft kits ready to go for the kids. I'll have lots of Close To my Heart deals for you, and many, many stocking stuffer treats!
Hope to see you there!
