Newton is recovering incredibly well. There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't amaze me. While I am still in shock that he has bone cancer, I cherish every moment that we have together.

While I was getting ready for work, Newton decided once again that he would venture up the stairs. I come out of the bathroom to find him sleeping on the bed. Crazy boy!!! After several hours hanging out upstairs with me while I was working, Newton decided that he wanted to go back downstairs. Of course, since Newton is an over analyzer, he would only go down a cuople of stairs and then come back up. Since opening the door worked last time, I tried that trick. No luck :-( When I heard some leaves blowing in the wind outside the door, I was able to get Newton all excited to go and check it out. He went down the stairs like a champ. When he doesn't think about it, he has no problem making the journey down the stairs.
