Friday November 23, 2012 – Owen’s Leukemia Day 5

He was feeling pretty good this morning.  Still having a super hard time getting him to take his medicine.  There is so many, and he has always hated to take stuff.  It doesn’t help that none of them taste good.  The worst is the steroid, which is in a pill form.  They said they have it in a liquid form too, but it is even worse tasting.  It has been trial and tribulation trying to get this in to him.  What worked one night, would not work the next day.

Uncle Rod, Aunt Mari and his cousins Sara and Jack came to visit today.  He was so excited to have his cousins there and take them to the playroom.  Once again in the kitchen…

The thing is, with the steroids comes huge mood swings… so if you thought the terrible twos / threes were bad, you have never seen a kiddo on steroids.  I feel so bad for him because he can’t control it.  He was getting a little over stimulated and we had everyone leave so that he could take a break.

Tonight he was complaining about his jaw hurting.  That is one of the side effects of his chemo medicine.  He was enjoying the freeze pops, as that is about the only thing that made it feel better.
