Last night Brody decided to keep Dad up. He had a long late nap yesterday and about 3 AM he insisted on watching a movie. That, his breathing treatment, going potty, sitting up in bed, asking for a drink, etc.. kept me up almost constantly til 6 am (or at least it felt like it)
Brody had another "better" day. He is past the trough from his first round of chemo-- his white blood cell count and other stuff is improving. His appetite, while not robust is at least existent.. however he is still avoiding some food that he used to love-- mainly cheese and bananas.
Today he had another ultrasound of his kidney (a follow up of his one on Monday to make sure his kidney was looking better). He also had to get his chest port "access" replaced today... so they removed it and then applied the numbing cream back to the area that he gets to keep on for an hour or so before the put in a new needle into the port for his IV and TPN.... the best part of this is he wasn't tied to an IV drip for an hour or so.... Brody and Mom took advantage of this and Trish pulled him around the hospital in a wagon for a while... Brody found a vending machine and got some M&Ms-- I'm sure he enjoyed his limited freedom.
He played some board games (Brody smoked Mom and Dad at Candyland) and Wii today...
Brody really misses playing with his brothers... they are both still getting over colds... hopefully they can play together soon...
Brody has a head start on me going to bed...
More tomorrow...
