A fun day

Dallas is doing well.  Good days, bad days... as usual.
But more good than bad, it seems.

At the benefit held at the American Legion, my mother bought the two HUGE pumpkins.  She gave one of them to Dallas, as he had been wanting one ever since seeing them at Walmart a few weeks back.  So we lugged the thing home, put it in the front yard, and there it sat.
Well... a couple of days ago, we decided to gut it.
Dallas had such a great time doing that.  He laughed about the way it felt, the squishy feeling, and the way it smelled.  It was a good time.

We haven't carved it yet, leaving that for a future date, as I don't want it to rot too soon.
And we will be putting up the decorations this weekend.  He's definitely looking forward to that!


Also, this weekend, we will be celebrating Dallas' 6th birthday.  His actual birthday is the 27th, but due to some difficulties with schedules, we felt that this weekend would be much more convenient.
He's really looking forward to having a good time.  :)

Therapy has been going well.  His therapist, Jessica, is doing some different things that are causing him pain, but he knows it's going to help him out in the long run.

Also, he has his first round of steroids on November 8th.  Hopefully all will go well at that appointment.

Well, until next time, have a great day!
And keep thinking about Dallas!


PS:  I have sent out thank you cards to EVERYONE who has sent anything to Dallas.  I have received some back from the postmaster due to wrong addresses.  I have also found out many people have not received anything.  If you have not received a Thank You card and would like one, please do not hesitate to let me know. We truly appreciate everything that has been done for Dallas, and what continues to be done.  I do not want anyone to feel that we are ignoring them.

Have a wonderful day!!!
