Sorry I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday. We had a beautiful day! It was gorgeous outside, and we had the privilege of celebrating a birthday with one of Owen’s good friends, Anna. We played at the park for a long time and had a blast!!
Today, not as fun… Owen’s appointment was at 8:30 this morning. Nanny came with us (which was much needed, and appreciated). He was sedated, and they did his lumbar puncture around 10 am. He woke up for a little while after that, but not long. He fell back asleep and didn’t wake up till close to lunch time. So the big thing today was his hydration. To get the one chemo drug, he had to be very hydrated otherwise the medicine is really rough on your bladder. They started him on fluids when we first got there, and then they had to keep getting him to urinate to check the density. Well, it wasn’t until 4:45pm that his pee was finally good and they could give him the medicine. It went in over a half hour, so we didn’t get out of there until 5:30!! He did awesome today. I was so proud of him. He got so many medicines, and he cooperated the whole time. He even met a new friend, Brody, in the play room. We spent many hours in there today.
Tomorrow home nursing comes to the house to give him more chemo. He gets it for the next 3 days, so they left his tubies in so they wouldn’t have to re-access him. Hope he feels good tonight. After all he got today, I don’t know how his body is going to react.
