A "Trick" Shot


This month after we flushed Trey’s port we gave him some of the medical supplies to play with. Mike and Trey and I conjured up a plan to play a trick on Drake with Trey’s new supplies. Drake and Broc are always standing close by when Mike and I flush Treys port and always have a look of pain and concern on their faces as Trey cries and squirms through the procedure. I asked Drake if he would pretend like he was getting a shot in his chest to show Trey that it’s okay, and to try not to cry so much.

Drake agreed not knowing that Trey would be the doctor and that we had filled the syringe with water. It was the funniest thing when Drake saw Trey with his gloves and mask on but even better when instead of pushing the “shot” into Drake’s chest, Trey squirted his face with water.

We were all cracking up. In an instant we took away the sadness and pain of Trey just getting his flush to where all he could think about was tricking Drake.
Now that Trey knows he can’t trick Broc because Broc was right there watching, he has decided to trick Laci (our Golden Retriever) and instead of squirting her in the face, he gives her a “shot” in the mouth. Trey laughs and laughs at Laci drinking his shots.
