Last week at the orofacial myologist (who retrains muscles of the lips and tongue) Mrs. Coulson told Nathan to wiggle his loose top tooth and get it out before next time.
Well, today it was still hanging by a thread. At our first stop at Children's Hospital, Nathan's nurse tried to wiggle his tooth loose but chickened out. In the car I told Nathan that Mrs. Coulson would probably give him a prize if he had that tooth out today, so he worked on it all the way there, but it still hung on.
Then, victory, he finally got it out as we sat in the waiting room, and was rewarded with a nice prize. The tooth fairy will try to not forget this time to leave him something under his pillow, too.
Since it was just him and me today, we went to lunch afterwards and played I Spy as we ate, and then went to Farmers' Market. A year ago, I wouldn't have believed that taking Nathan to chemo would be included in a nice outing day.

Darlene, taking your child to chemo must be one of the hardest things a mom is ever called to do. But thanks be to God, that He pours out grace in the measure we need, just for today. If He didn't, where would we be?
So right. I don't know how anyone could walk through something like this without the Lord or His grace for every day.
sweerie, can't tell you how good to hear those words. Truer words never spoken!
What a TESTAMENT this family will have in God + Nathan!
LOVE to you all...
