Popsicles, Straight Jackets and a Cookie Toss

 Hi Everybody!

Did everyone have a fun Halloween?  I was able to go trick or treating here in the hospital.  Childlife brought me a Spiderman outfit so I could dress up. Did you know that costumes are like straight jackets?  You didn't?  Neither did anyone else in the Oncology Ward until they tried to put it on me and had to hold onto my wiggley, screaming, crying and not so happy self to get it on. 

 Here's me in my straight....I mean Spidey Suit.

Everyone said I sure looked cute in it but I just wasn't a happy camper.  Daddy asked me if I wanted to be Diaper Boy instead of Spiderman and I said "YES, YES, YES!!!"  This is me trying to turn into Diaper Boy.

And then I thought it was following me!!!  I knew I was safe being on top of Daddy's shoulders but I still had to make sure I kept a close watch on it.

I've been busy the past few days.  I've broke two Broviac Main Line in the past few days.  I've had two IV's as well.  That's what happens when I have lots and lots of energy and an ACN of  over 7000.

But I like things in two's....especially when they are POPSICLES!  Yummo!!!

And cupcakes!

I've had fun playing too.  Here's me with a bucket o' blocks and Mr. Worm.

But with all that fun came some not so fun stuff today.  Tonight I'm on antibiotics and they don't seem very happy inside me.  I wonder if they think my body is a straight jacket too.  I'll have to ask next time they try for a grand escape by way of making me toss my cookies.  I don't have a fever or rash though so I guess throwing up isn't so bad.  The nurse is really nice though and gave me something to help.

Thanks for keeping my family in your prayers and all your support.  We could still use help in the food department.  Right now we have November 4th & 14th with a meal delivery but other than that we don't have anything else.  If you can help it would be appreciated.

Our biggest need right now is for people to help move.  It's very last minute but we are moving on Saturday...yep, this Saturday!  Can you help????  Please, oh please?  Please email us at noahmrmans@gmail.com or comment right here if you can.

Love,

Noah

Ways To Say Goodbye....

In French it's...Au revior

In Spanish it's....Adios

In German it's...Servus

And in Italian it's....Arrivederci

And if you're me?

SO LONG POKIE!!!

So guess what I've been asking to do all weekend?  Yep, I want to say so long to the Pokie so bad.  Especially today; I really had a case of the Grouchy Bear.  Playing with the Goose Egg isn't cutting it anymore so I put the Goose Egg away.  Guess what my ACN is now?  Okay, everyone pick a number between Goose Egg and 500.  Five hundred is what I need to say so long Pokie.  Everyone have your number?  Oh, you want a hint???  Okay, your hint is that it has THREE numbers in it!  Ready???

272!!!!

My Mama's and Daddy are so funny and are planning some mischief!  Da Dah's went home tonight to get some rest.  Da Dah's is coming back in the morning though and Mommy and Daddy are going to suit up in all of the football tackle gear they hid under my bed.  Then they're going to tackle the doctor and convince him that it's time for Mr. Man's to go home again.  Mamas really wants me to get released tomorrow but it may be Thursday.  Part of going home is the normal Bone Marrow Biopsy and whatnot.

So if I do get to go home tomorrow then the food deliveries will go to my house instead of the hospital.  For those of you signed up you'll get a phone call to let you know.  Mommy and Daddy are so grateful for the food.  It's a huge help to my family and something they really need to have continue so feel free to sign up.

So, most of you know that my Mommy works for the Fire Department.  Remember back when I told you I thought Christmas had come early with all the fun presents I had given to me?  Well, Christmas came early for my Mamas too.  She was told that instead of having to come back to work right away she can stay off work until January!  Can you believe that?  Mamas wants to be able to stay until November and then she thinks that she will try to get back to work.

We've told you many ways you can help our family & then you've come up with so many on your own as well.  This is another way my Fire Fighter Family (Family should have nicknames so I'm going to start calling them the  Triple F's!) can help.  Mamas says that the Triple F's can donate a day to her.  That donated day gives my Mamas one more day to be with me.  It takes a lot of stress away from Mommy & Daddy trying to figure out who can stay with me during the day because they really want one of them to be here with me.  Can you do it Triple F's? Please???

One last thing Mommy wants to share with all of you.  Many of you have been making donations via PayPal and there are many others who are mailing checks to Daddy's work PO Box.  Mommy thinks that they are going to move away from the PayPal account and just ask you all to send checks instead due to how much PayPal keeps of your donations.  You can mail checks to:  PO Box 1627, Folsom, CA 95763.


That's all I have for now so I'm going to say good night.


Love,


Noah
