My life seems quite out of control lately…
I get up…
make me a cup of coffee… 
read or listen to news…
check outside for weather…
(Found this is as good as weather man sometimes!)… 
I drive a little boy to school almost every morning…
His Grandmother takes care of him a lot…
like so many are doing these days…
and has no transportation…
I am home anyway and get up early… so I kinda committed to taking him in the mornings…
I don’t promise afternoon pick-ups…
but, along with another neighbor we manage to get him picked-up…
I gave him applesauce (in the little cups) with a plastic spoon one morning…
since he was a little cranky and had not eaten…
so now…
This is our “thing”…
I take it to him every time now…
I change-up on flavors…
Sometimes Cinnamon 
and sometimes Strawberry…
One day his Grandpa took him and he rings my door bell at 7:30am for his applesauce…
Have to love it!…
Bobby and I being out-of-town for a few days did not sit too well with his breakfast habit…
We went to Cherokee, NC 
and Tennessee to spend a night and visit with my cousin/her husband…
Before I left I made this little one a chart to count down the days til school was out…
I think it helped…
Our few days away actually helped our spirits…
but, it seems we always have an incident…
Bobby had been given drops for his eyes due to Chemo being mixed incorrectly…
making his eyes… nose… and other areas run with a secretion that almost burned his skin…
He had been sitting outside a lot… at my cousins…
when I spotted what I thought to be his eye drops… 
and told him to let me put them in his eyes…
He went ballistic!… 
hollering about burning of his eye….
Thank goodness I only dropped one drop in one eye….
BUT….
that was quite enough!….
It was NOT his eye drops but, drops of an alkaline that he mixes with water and drinks…
A natural healing drink he had been trying…
After washing out eye thoroughly with water and eye rinse from pharmacy…
I felt he needed to go to VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro, TN… 
…where we were visiting my cousin…
Only a short ride and “precautionary treatment” seemed the right thing to do…
The staff was excellent!….
Getting his information as quickly as possible…
listening to “story” of what I had done…
showing them the bottle of drops….
Poison Control was called and immediately started numbing eye and then did a PH Test …
Washed it with what looked like a contact connected to a tiny hose… (Fit right over his eye-ball)…
They rinsed with a saline solution… tested again…
seemed to be fine….
Releasing him in the care of “the culprit”… ME… who had done this to his poor eye…. with eye drops again (Antibiotics)…
I want to praise the doctor- nurse- social worker- and office staff… 
as to the quick reaction in the care for my husband…
They kidded with me that they were glad I had not used “Super Glue”…
I think I cried a bucket of tears…
I felt so bad…
Today… back to my job of taking my little neighbor fellow to school….
I also picked him up…
He asked, “You didn’t bring any applesauce?”…
I explained, “I only bring that for breakfast”…
“OH”… he says…. disappointment in his voice…
So… when we returned home…
I told him, “Come on over and get an applesauce”…” I have enough for the next few days”…
Being that school is out after Thursday…
He says, “Strawberry please!”…
**********
Today was Chemo Day and results of scan… 
We have to leave too early for me to give my little fella a ride to school… but…
left his applesauce/plastic spoon on his Nanna’s front porch…
First thing! …
Scan was good…
NO growth…
NO change…
Bobby’s body has kept the cancer at bay (sleeping) for a year …
and so we will continue with same chemo drugs… for now…
and as he says, “I will live as if nothing is wrong with me as best as I can… taking one day at a time… and try to enjoy things we are able to do!”…
Love hearing him with this attitude…

This morning we get up …
I run my little neighbor 
up to school for the last day…
Summer is officially here… 
School is out!… 
I feel as though I have gotten summer break too…
although have not minded helping out with this small boy…
I am sure Corvion will be elated today!
NOW…
do I keep “applesauce” in my fridge during summer break or not???
