Finally a posting.... We were not sure the trip was going to happen since Aidan's platelets were going down but we were given the okay and he just had blood work this past monday. Yeah no blood transfusion, next appt April 10th for some Vincristine, it is a quick chemo that will go through his line and probably some more blood work.
First day we drove to Lynwood for an overnighter, it was a rough one for Aidan. He woke up at 1AM throwing up and having stomach pains. The next morning he was fine so it must have been just a bug that needed to get out of him. Next day was onward to Portland and mcbites at McDonalds. They still have cool retro looking McDonalds. In Portland we took the metro downtown and wander around. The boys enjoyed Powell Bookstore and of course we had to hit the foodcarts. Suzanna and I had Thai and Aidan and Brandan had fish and chips. It was a food truck that Aidan had seen on Eat street and it was GOOD stuff. Took the boys to Trader Joes and of course the other usual stuff, Walmart, Costco, Kohls and Fred Meyers. We stayed at the Radisson Residence near Lloyd center it has an upstairs and down with two bathrooms yes awesome Suzanna had just points to get it. Brandan said "Pinch me I can't believe we are on holidays" Aidan said this is the best birthday start ever.
Next day onward to Lincoln city, we were going to go to the Tillamook cheese factory but the road was closed so we had to do some backtracking. We went clam digging and i got the boys each there own digger and BiMart. The boys and Suzanna built a fire on the beach and we just hung out it was a fun time. Can't wait to go again.
Belated happy birthday to Aidan! :)
