Working Overtime

Emmett doesn't sit still much, especially when he's in the hospital. The last time he was admitted, about 2 weeks ago now, what we thought was just supposed to be some flurries ended up being about 8 inches of snow! Emmett liked being in the garden more that day than he ever did in the warm weather.

He helped the Grounds' Crew by 'snow blowing' with them. Truthfully, for the half hour he was out there, Emmett was working more than the 3 full time guys!  They were stopping and chatting, but Emmett kept making rounds in the garden.  He was a little disappointed that most the snow had already been cleared off the walkways and so he would make sure to drive his mower into the snowbanks once in a while for some real action.

A little union-approved break before heading back out to work

The next day, this was the chosen activity. 

He's a very meticulous worker, as you can see

Emmett was ready to be discharged and was feeling really well. He'd been walking differently, though, so we had the oncology fellow come check him out before we left. Another sign of too much Vincristine, which they will reduce this round. She could barely get him to stop vacuuming to examine him, though. I told her that Children's should definitely be paying him to be there instead of the other way around!
