Carlsbad Flower Fields

I don't know if any of you have had the chance to visit the Carlsbad Flower Fields off of Palomar Mountain Road but those fields are truly magnificent and Nate gets to go there today on a field trip. I hope that he enjoys the beautiful flowers. Just because he is a boy does not mean he can't enjoy the flowers. I told him that he needs to appreciate the beauty of nature and flowers. I am trying to help his future wife out here!
Gary is holding steady. His counts (whites, reds and platelets) are holding strong so far. We are still trying to thin our his blood and Dr. Barth has just increased his coumadin dose to hopefully accomplish that.
He is going in today again to get hydrated. It is good to get hydrated right after chemo so that his kidneys can continue to flush out all of the poisonous chemo. It is really hard for Gary to drink 80 ounces of fluid each day. I guess that is why all of the chairs at the Cancer Center are filled with people being hydrated each day we are there.
We are on our way to the school to watch Zach give his first ever oral report in class. Yesterday, we watched the Imagination Machine act out Nate's story on stage and that was exciting, too.
Nate has a game tonight if it does not rain. It better not! Jax and Zach have games Thursday night.
I had so much fun last night. Monica, Jenn, Michele, Stacy, Kendyl and I went to Taco Tuesday on the Lake and enjoyed tacos and great conversation! I love getting together with my girls! It makes me feel refreshed and not so distant.
Off we are. Gary is actually going to watch Zach! How exciting! He will be so stoked!
Love to all,
