A Visit from Chemo Duck

We've loved having Aaron back in the mornings. Yesterday Aaron shared a book with us all about his hospital visit and important information about his diagnosis. Today Aaron showed us Chemo Duck and taught us about his port and was able to show us on his duck and explained the process that he goes through. It was so neat to step back and watch him teach and his pals to be so invested in what he was talking about. Happy heart today. 

More Manners!

I LOVE these two manners!
