Day 28

Hello this is Sam and I just want to tell you what's going on. Tomorrow I go to the hospital and I can't eat anything after midnight and my appointment is at 11... that's 11 hours with NO FOOD. I am not looking forward to that. I get an LP which is where they inject medicine into my spine and last time it gave me headaches for a week. I hope I don't get that again. Then I get a bone marrow biopsy and that is for checking how many blast cells are still left in my body.

I had a great day today. This morning I went to my grandmas and grandpas to go say good bye to my cousin Daniel because he is going to work at Camp Firwood in Bellingham, Washington for the summer. We had lunch with grandma, her famous corn chowder, which I love. After that my mom and I went to the Crescent beach for a walk. I stopped to get a popsicle and then we went grocery shopping. One of my moms really good friends is coming over for dinner and for the night and maybe all day tomorrow.

I want to thank all of the students in my class for your letters, cards, gifts, and the stuff you brought back from Barkerville. My mom couldn't fit the gold pan in her suit case so my dad will bring it up in the van when he comes. I will try to pan for gold with the rocks you got me too. My mom says we'll do it in the ocean. I also want to thank the whole school for all of your support and for doing that cool fundraiser. I can't wait to see you guys bald. OK, well that's it for today, good bye for now I will write again.
