Thursday November 22, 2012 – Owen’s Leukemia Day 4

Happy Thanksgiving!  Owen slept in a little bit today which was good for him.  Nanny and Poppy came to visit this morning to see him and to take Daddy back home for a little while.  Jeff hasn’t left the hospital since Owen was admitted.  He has been right by his side and such a great support for him.  Kimi and Ken came after breakfast and he had fun taking them to the playroom to show them the kitchen.  He loves the kitchen.

He seemed to feel better today than he has since last Friday.  He was complaining about his port, but they said that is common for the first few days.  Nana and Pap Pap came in the afternoon and he had a great time playing on the mat with Pap Pap.

After Daddy came back, we wanted to give him a bath.  He normally LOVES baths, but he was really worried about his port.  We also had to put this “sticker” over his port bandage so that nothing gets wet and he was really scared that it was going to hurt when we took it off.  It took us over an hour and a half to finally get his bath and believe me, the whole floor knew he wasn’t happy about the bath.  We marked off that he should get another special bead for an act of courage.  It was hard to get the bath, but he finally did it.
