Here we go with week number two. Kyle's first treatment on Monday wasn't until 12:30 so he was able to spend a couple hours at the Cottage School with his friends before we left. What a treat. For sharing he brought his new skateboard deck that he got as a gift from Grind for Life and then I showed the class how we flush his pic line. (He has a pic line in his right arm so that when they put him to sleep everyday for radiation they don't have to put in a new i.v. every day. This way the meds go in and he is asleep in seconds). He had a great time letting his friends see how brave he is.
On the way down in the car he came up with a couple new jokes which have been making the hospital staff laugh all week:
Q: What do you call an anesthesiologist who helps kids?
A: A kidnapper! They take kids and make them nap!
Q: Why don't the germs like the alcohol pad that cleans my pic line?
A: They aren't 21 yet!
Kyle is developing a love for "giggle gas" and requests it everyday from the kidnapper. He loves to fall asleep now with the giggles.Thanks for all your notes, positive thoughts, and prayers. They make each day brighter.

Hey Kyle,
I just got home from the big Kyle-fest at LuLu's. It was awesome to see tons of people there to support you. You have SSSOOOOooo many people who love you and your family!!
We loved your jokes on the blog. Now we are adding comedian to the list of things you can be. Let's see - there's banker, advertising genius, BMX racer, comedian, world cup skier ... and that's just the short list.
Your shirts are starting to get out there! I'm sending two to South Carolina tomorrow - you keep getting more famous!
XOXOXO
Julie, Paul, Andrea and Shane
Dear Kyle,
Wren, Ann, Rob and I have been thinking about you so much! Ann and Wren really enjoyed watching your Mt. Baker video...they can't believe how good you are! "WOW, he's so fast," says Wren. And Ann just wants to make sure you know how much she LOVES you! We ALL have t-shirts and sing your chant! Each day we all send you lots of hugs and laughs. Your jokes are FANTASTIC! Sweet Dreams, The Healy Family xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Hi Kyle - You don't know me, but I met your Grandma Linda and you Mom when she was just 2 years old. I am also a big Husky fan and am looking forward to Jake's first touchdown in Husky stadium when he points to you in recognition of what an amazing kid you are in your fight against that brain bump. You have a wonderful family and I can tell that you have lots of amazing friends as well. You and your family are in my prayers. I am looking forward to meeting you one of these days. Love, Mary Beth
