  Good news....the steroid cream is really helping his psoriasis.  It is looking so much better already and it only hurt him the first few times.  It doesn't hurt him anymore, he just says it doesn't feel great having cream slathered all over his body.  He had clinic on Tuesday and everything went really well.  We was actually excited to go.  He has learned that not every time he goes to the hospital now someone is going to hurt him.  He also loves playing with the child life specialists and he actually talks to both of them.  That's huge for him!  He now says he wants to be a child life specialist when he grows up.  He was also excited to go down to RTU for his back poke because he loves playing with the helicopter they have back there while he gets the sleepy medicine.  He also says he likes feeling dizzy before he goes to sleep.  Silly kid.  They even had his Vincristine ready for him before we went down to RTU, so we didn't have to come back up to clinic when he woke up.  I'm so glad this appointment went well.  It helps me feel better about things when he has a smile on his face at the hospital instead of a miserable sad look.  Here are some pictures of our day.






RTU was running behind so this is what I ended up doing after an hour of waiting.


This is what Skyler did.
