Owen’s Leukemia – Day 23

Well, I went upstairs after I wrote last night and Owen kept complaining that his belly hurt… that went on for a couple of hours and then everything came back up.  He was pretty sick for a while.  We finally got him to take some Zofran, which is to help with the nausea, but he didn’t want the whole dose.  He did fall a sleep for a little while, but then woke up with his belly still hurting.  He did take the rest and was able to sleep till this morning.  I felt so bad for him.  I guess this is kinda how I almost always pictured chemo effecting people.  My husband would probably say I watch too much T.V.:)  I just hope he doesn’t have these spells that often.

Today was a good day after a slow morning.  He still wasn’t feeling the best this morning.  He was still complaining of his belly hurting, but he said it wasn’t the same feeling as he had last night, so I am wondering if all of the muscles were just sore from vomiting so much.  He got a second wind after a morning nap and had a pretty playful afternoon.  He was actually walking some again today which is so great!!  We keep trying to use Christmas as an incentive to get his legs strong… so he can walk down the stairs to see what Santa brought him!  I think he is working towards that!!

So, this is what gets a smile on his face pretty much everyday (multiple times per day)
