September 21 Report - Pre Yom Kippur

Jake had a pretty good week. Mommy had to go out of town on Wednesday afternoon, so we had some quality Daddy-Son bonding time. We did some homework, rode our bikes, and played a lot of an improvised game involving Legos. He's also into the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, a DVD set of mixed live action and cartoon shows from the late 1980's. I'd never seen it before. "Captain" Lou Albano (the wrestling manager) played Mario, which is kind of cool. When we go to the playground, he likes to pretend we're playing a real-life Super Mario Brothers level. Our next purchase is the "Legend of Zelda" DVD box, which contains another cartoon series from the 1980's that was heavily cross-marketed on the Super Mario show.

No big changes on the health front. We're waiting for final insurance approval to begin Human Growth Hormone treatment, because he's stopped growing since beginning dialysis. The doc says that you can "catch up" missed growth as long as HGH is provided before transplant.

No big post-yom kippur plans.
