Evan checks in to St Joseph's Hospital at noon today for 4 days of chemo in Marshfield. He went through hospitalized chemotherapy last fall, too. It was pretty rough stuff. But, let's face it, all of this is rough stuff.
Since Evan already prepared to enter the hospital in Minneapolis, most of his hospital gear is at Alyssa's, including his quilt and pillow. He hates the smell of hospital blankets and the plastic-ness of the pillows. Naturally, I'm flattered that he wants to take one of the quilts I made and even let myself believe he had a specific favorite. When I asked (while holding it up for him to see) if he wanted to take "this log cabin quilt" that he has used every time he was hospitalized, he replied, "Sure. Is that the one I usually take?" So much for favorites. The log cabin quilt is in Minneapolis. He took a different one today and I'm sure he won't be able to identify it in a line up a month from now. Probably not even a week from now. He's still Evan.

I'm praying for you guys and that this "round" goes well/ as planned. About the quilt- what probably makes all of your quilts his favorite is that they were made by his favorite person in the world.Moms are so special and you are a fine example for all of us Barb- Keep your chin up and take care of your boy- Marcia
