I feel your pain...I actually dread when Bryan takes a belt test...usually it takes around 2 hours of watching everyone else and about 10 minutes of watching him. Plus there are only a few seats so I end up sitting on the floor for 2 hours so the entire lower half of my body is asleep 1/2 way through. Luckily this month he's not up for a belt yet I'm such a bad mommy.

Tonight DH is away in Philadelphia again so I'm hoping to get the kids to bed at a reasonable hour then watch TV and relax (wishful thinking but I can dream).

It's always nice when they're away and you're in charge of the TV remote control. Have fun Veronica

I know we've talked about this before (but I've forgotten), are any of you planning on eating at Palo ? Are you doing Brunch, Dinner or both ?

We're hoping to do both

We're hoping to do both. My MIL and Christopher's aunt have never been on a Disney Cruise so we have to do it right.

Well ladies it's back to Boston tomorrow! Ian got the call back. I was starting to think the call wasn't coming 'cause it was getting late. He's not even home right now so you are finding out before him We will need lots of lucky pixie dust and leg breaking etc - LOL

I can't wait to go to Palo. Dinner is lovely, but Brunch is delish. We know that Brunch will be served on the Wednesday (the last CC day), but I'm not sure what night to have dinner - what about you ?

I guess that's the next thing I need to book, but that won't be till the end of May (ages away) - I wish we could book at 105 days too

That's brilliant Sandy - Sending him lots and lots of luck

I look forward to hearing how he gets on

I may actually try to have dinner there on our 3 night. That's if I can get brunch for the 4 night.

I wonder if the 3rd night will still be Pirate Night, not that it matters to us, as we're on late seating, but when we go to Palo, we like to eat around 6pm and then head to our dining room for a cocktail or two

We can't do it on the last night, cos there's no way I could eat two Palo meals in one day

I think you are right and I definitely couldn't eat a Palo twice in one day. The brunch does me in.

I have to find out which night is Pirate night on the 3 night cruise. I think I will go for that night since we will dress up for Pirate night on the 4 night cruise.

We got some more promising news late this afternoon...the pulmonologists at Hopkins think that keegan's mass in his chest might be fluid filled and may respond to the medication he's on. This would mean no biopsy/surgery if it clears up on it's own. His doctor at the Peds oncology unit said that he doesn't think he's an oncology case, but they are going to continue to treat him and follow his case to see how it develops. He's going to call us in a couple of days with any new updates. It's great that they share his case with so many other professionals there to get so many opinions. It's been a long 48 hours coming from him being diagnosed with cancer to now possibly a fluid filled mediasternal mass possibly due to pnemonia. He slept all afternoon and is looking a bit better. He still has his "asthma" cough which makes me wonder if he's ever truly been asthmatic (he was diagnosed at 3) or if this mass has always been there (as hypothesized yesterday) and just recently been infected. He's going to head back to school tomorrow. I spoke with his school nurse and teacher and made sure that they are going to watch him like hawks. I had to get a "doctor's order" for his medication--the nurse said they can't just use a prescription. I'm going to take him in and make sure he feels ok being back and is doing ok walking, etc. He's pretty much been home since last Thursday. His teacher said she'd speak with his classmates about being very careful around him and not bumping him, rough housing,etc. I didn't want her to use the word tumor so kids wouldn't be scared or think it was contageous. I just hope he can make it a full day without falling asleep. He's been sleeping half the day the last several days. I'll make sure to have his teacher email me with how he's doing. We are really, really filled with much more hope tonight.
