Sorry I haven't written in a while, but things have been pretty uneventful.  Anthony finished cycle 8 on Saturday, Oct. 18th and did fine.  He is really coming out of his shell lately.  He is acting more like the real Anthony in the hospital, and everyone loves it.  He is a pretty funny kid.

Yesterday was his birthday and he had two great parties.  One with friends and kids from his pre-school at the bowling alley and one at home with family.  He and Emily had a great time bowling.  Anthony got 7 spares in a row and bowled a 131!  He was running around like a madman at the home party.  He got some really great gifts.  Thanks everyone!

We went to T.G.I.Fridays tonight (at Anthony's request) for a birthday dinner.  It was interesting.  He threw up all over the floor, then proceeded to finish his dinner like nothing happened.  I think we are going to be blacklisted from Fridays.  This is the second time he has thrown-up in one.  The last time, he had just finished one of these treatments, was on the potty and threw-up inside his shorts.  I was very calm as I rinsed his shorts in the sink and dried them under the hand dryer.  People were going in and out of the bathroom watching me with his shorts under the dryer and him standing there dancing around with no pants on.  Life is interesting...
