This Week in Our New Normal - Week 527 (at least)

It's Sunday Post time!  This is hosted by the awesome Caffeinated Book Reviewer and gives us all a chance to recap our week.

This week was a long week.  Nothing particularly bad happened but Will was on a new medicine that made him really out of it and zombie-ish.  Luckily he's off it now and is spending some time sleeping it off but when he's awake he's back to himself which is good.  We were discharged from the hospital Sunday afternoon and had a few long days here and there.  This week seems like it'll mostly be a recovery week to try and get his numbers up before he has his bone marrow test and spinal tap.  This will show if he's ready to enter the 2nd phase of treatment which sounds like it's a mix of down time and intense time.  I'm not sure if this will start the 120 weeks of treatment or if the 120 weeks is phase 3.  

He's been nominated for Make A Wish by one of our team (not unusual - basically if you are at St Jude you qualify) so we've had a good time coming up with ideas.  It's been a good distraction in waiting rooms and stuff when he's awake enough to talk but not really awake enough to do anything.  And we got a Lite Brite from Concierge the other day at the hospital.  I'm super excited about it because I loved Lite Brite as a kid and I think it'll work for a good activity for when he's got a little more energy.  They're much thinner then they used to be and there are lots of refill pages on Amazon so I think it'll be great.  If he doesn't like it I might use it!  We've also been playing lots of Animal Crossing and have enjoyed visiting other islands.  

In non-Leukemia news I've gotten a lot of books and am having a good time organizing them and deciding what to read next.  I'll have to do a show and tell soon.  I discovered the coffee shop on the first floor of our building serves New Orleans style (chickory) Iced Coffee and I've been loving it.  Pretty much 90% of my non-hospital meals have been the Iced Coffee and then the queso dip and tortilla chips that the market in our building sells.  When we head home I will miss those!  

Only one blog post last week but this week there will be a few.  I have a Middle Grade review that will be up Monday that was written back at the beginning of June in another life.  And I have a review for a historical mystery that I'm still reading but is so far really good.  I tried to do some blog visiting yesterday but my Bloglovin feed was really glitchy so I ended up giving up.  Hopefully this week I'll do a little visiting.  

I hope everyone has a good week and is reading fantastic books!
