Done with radiation therapy

Brody had a rough time the last 3 days of radiation.therapy..  on Monday the verced didn't help in the morning,  he was scared and couldn't stop crying so could not lay still in enough to get his treatment...  he came back in the afternoon and did fine.

Tuesday he did great and it went without a hitch.

Wednesday he got scared again but he settled down eventually and got his last session done.

The side effects will persist a week to 10 days but he is much happier getting a good nights sleep...  he stayed up late last night and slept in with mommy til almost noon today.

He starts another chemo round monday and we will be spending the night in the hospital again.

Not much else to report..  his weight has dropped a bit with the radiation therapy but his appetite seems to be getting better.   He had 4 slices of french toast (no crusts)  for breakfast and a 6" subway turkey sub for lunch today.

His weight is back down to about 33 pounds...  hoping he gains some back quick.

More later...  hard to type from my phone
