Green Eggs, No Ham

Sam is doing great.  His counts were still very low yesterday so he got his 3rd round of platelets this week.  They assured us this was completely normal at this stage of treatment.     

Jack is great too.  He has his 12th tooth coming in, but oddly enough he's been sleeping like a champ.  For the last two nights he's slept 11 hours straight!  If you told me this would ever be possible in those first three months when he would only sleep 1.5 hours at a time I would have thought you were insane.

I know this is hardly a recipe, but I thought I'd share it anyway since it's become one of Jack's favorite things both to eat and play with.  I love it because it's easy to make and fits for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  It works plain or with any finely chopped, cooked veggie you have on hand.  A few tablespoons of puree would work great too.

Mini Green Egg Omelette

2 egg yolks
a splash of whole milk or water
1-2 tablespoons of chopped, cooked veggies (spinach, zucchini, broccoli...you get it)
olive oil

Heat a small frying pan over medium low heat and coat with a very thin layer of olive oil.  I find it easiest to brush it on.  Whisk up your egg yolks with milk or water and pour into preheated pan to form a neat little pancake shape.  Sprinkle veggies over the whole thing.  Cook until it's nearly set, then  flip.  Cook a little longer and remove from heat.  Roll up and slice, or just tear the whole thing into pieces.

  1. Kristen. How do I get the kit? Sounds like things are looking better. Both you and Sam are such great people. Little jack is tough like his daddy. Thats why he sleeps through the night with the new teeth. I'll send away ASAP to get the test.

  2. Hey William! Long time! It's so good to hear from you. Thank you so much for your kind words. You can get a kit at marrow.org. It's free for the month of January. This will put you on the national donor registry. Who knows! Maybe you'll be Sam's match or even help out another family like us. It's a win-win situation :) Thanks again! xo
