Well, that was a real safe bet.

Miles' numbers are still improving, slowly. They're still not finding anything that would suggest it's anything other than T.E.C.

We're back home, relieved and tired. Not sure when the next blood test will be done, but I'm hoping we can hold off for a bit.

Miles had a great time playing in the playroom at Children's... but he was still excited when we announced it was time to head for home.

Tuesday June 4th, 2019

The exercise:

Write two haiku about: the road trip.

Kat and I are in Vancouver tonight with Miles, as the folks at BC Children's Hospital want to see him. Nothing has changed with his diagnosis. They seem to think that this has gone on long enough without his numbers improving so they want to check him out for themselves.

His appointment is tomorrow morning, then the plan is to head back to Osoyoos after lunch. We left after work today, so I should only miss one day of work. This is the only post I'm scheduling - I'll share whatever updates I've got on Wednesday's post.

He's been doing good the last couple of days, really seeming like himself. So hopefully this will be the only time we have to do this.

Max is having a sleepover with Kat's parents. I hope he's having fun.

Have you met Buddy's offspring?
