Gage is being followed very closely on his weight because of the 35+ lbs he gained after transplant, he lost 7 of them on the adhd med, which isn’t uncommon.
During his last appointment (every three weeks) he gained a half a pound, for which we were delighted, of course. After weigh in and before his appointment was over Julian saw Quinn in the hallway, patiently playing.
With rocks.
You see where this is going, right?
The previous rocks that had been in Gage’s pockect…DURING WEIGH IN.
At home,
Julian: “Mommy, Gage weighed a whole 1/2 pound more!”
Gage, speaking matter of fact: “Yes. Yes, I did.”
Me: “That’s awesome! I’m so happy!”
Gage: “And I also had a lot of rocks in my pocket!”
I had to laugh and later Julian agreed that we’re so happy he’s joking around again. I’ve missed his playful mischievousness.
I think that’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a LONG time!!
I should also point out that we are getting a lot of mileage out of the rock story…at least a couple of times a day we refer to it, “Here Gage, here’s another half pound.” And “Empty your pockets! Right now!”
It’s all very fun and playful. Such a change.
That made me laugh out loud! He is very clever and witty.
That’s GENIUS! Kid may be difficult sometimes… but he’s got such spunk! I love this story!
