Last week kind of went off the rails.  Will's counts were pretty low at clinic and then he wasn't feeling well most of the week.  Saturday he woke up with a fever and for a leukemia kid that means you head to the ER.  His numbers had crashed and his fever was rising so we were admitted pretty much right away and he was put on IV antibiotics.  Luckily, he tested negative for all the scary things so it was just kind of a waiting game.  We ended up staying in the hospital for most of the week and we still aren't 100% sure what exactly he had.  It could be mono - the tests were inconclusive - or a million other viruses that for people with normal immune systems would barely have been a blip.  We got home Wednesday and he is starting to feel much better though his energy level is still pretty low.   He had a good time playing with the hospital bed and we had some really fantastic nurses and  Child Life Specialists who helped fill the time.  

In other news Rover finished puppy class.  The first picture was taken on the first day of class and the second picture was taken seven weeks later on the last day of class.  I can't believe how much he's grown!   We start Manners class this week and I'm looking forward to continuing the training.  I'm also trying to take him to different places during the week to get him used to being in all kinds of situations.  Obviously, the events of last week kind of sent that off the rails but we did get a walk in the park done today and it felt so great to be outside.

Jason and I have started watching the latest season of The Great British Bake-Off.  I always forget how much I love that show until we start watching it again.  We are trying not to binge it because we don't want it to be over to fast.  And thanks to Instagram reels I've gotten hooked on a Turkish soap opera called Sen Cal Kapimi and finally found a streaming service that has the whole series with English subtitles.  It's been a long time since I've watched any kind of drama but I'm really loving it!  I got a pretty good amount of reading done while we were hanging out in the hospital.  There's really only space for one person to sleep so Jason went home after dinner so I would spend most of my time reading.  I've found I've really been loving reading from actual books and have found my Kindle less appealing.  Not sure what that's about!   

Have a great week and happy reading!
