Day 244 - Bye, bye, hair!

Things seem to be calm in Seattle (which I realize is just asking for it), and Ryan is enjoying his Xbox and his movies and his nurses and his quiet time (is Ryan ever quiet?).  Apparently, he is on Patrick's schedule, so he stays up all night long, preferring to fall asleep around 6am.  Then he sleeps until about 3 in the afternoon, when they come in to change his linens and clean his room... He is loving the idea of staying up 'like daddy'.  Typical.

You can also see from the picture that Patrick shaved his head.  We were not surprised with the new round of chemo, that his hair growth would be short lived.  He woke up yesterday with most of his hair on his pillow.  A little disconcerting, but he wasn't too upset.  He only gets silly when Patrick tells him that his head is as 'smooth as a baby's bottom'... "My head is NOT a baby's bottom, dad!"

Both boys are looking forward to seeing me and Kathryn in a few days (assuming the weather and Amtrak behave).

Thank you all for the continued prayers and good thoughts!!
