Good to know that despite all the chemo, some things about Emmett's body haven't changed: he still sweats like a pig. Except when he used to have hair, his hair would just be soaked. Now it just pools on his head. Not sure which is worse...

Back in April, Emmett was helping set the table so I gave him a handful of silverware.  He tried to climb up on the bench to put it on the table and slipped and fell off and landed under the table on his back.  And acquired this nasty cut.  It didn't bleed too much and we called the Jimmy Fund and they weren't too worried.

He was talking fine and would still drink some water and it didn't seem to hurt him so we weren't worried.  My bro is almost done as a dental student (so he's a pro at mouths) and when he saw it that night, even he thought it was a little gruesome, so we erred on the side of being careful and took him to the ER, with Aunt Besty, too, since she was in town. They weren't too worried about it either.  When they checked with the on-call oncologist, though, they wanted him on antibiotics to be extra cautious and make sure it didn't get infected.  It mostly looked nasty because it was so swollen and took a few days to calm down and about two weeks for it to close up.  He's one tough nut....with razor sharp teeth!
