So this is our Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde son. Last night at dinner Charlie was grumpy as usual and then requested to go to bed. After about 15 minutes in bed he got up and came back down stairs in the best mood, talking and laughing. Ang and I looked at each other and asked, "Who is this kid and what has he done with our cancer patient?" It was so rare and unexpected, I quickly snagged the camera and snapped this "happy" photo. It only lasted for a couple of minutes, but it made our day.
You can also see that Charlie has a high Augustus Gloop factor going on these days. The steriods have puffed up his cheeks and given him a bit of a belly. Ang calls these "chipmunk cheeks". We are in the home stretch on the daily steroid (five more days) and we are optimistic that after they get flushed out of his system we will see more Dr. Jekyll and less Mr. Hyde.
