After I got off the phone with the doctor, I had to re-enter real life.  Dan was at work.  The boys were hungry.  I needed to make some dinner.  I had told Tanner about the call from the doctor.  As we sat at the kitchen table discussing what to have for dinner, Tanner suggested that I make Ramen noodles.  I asked, "Why?  Does that sound good?"  He answered, "Not really, but I want it to be easy for you.  That sounds like something easy for you to make."  What a nice boy!  My initial reaction is to shield him from this trial, but I also believe that it is for him too.  I hope we can find the right balance of letting him be a kid without any worries and also letting him learn and grow from our experiences.

After a delicious dinner of Ramen noodle soup, I took the boys to the park.
