Well here we are again. Critter is on day 5 of 6 days of chemo. He has done amazingly well. He is happy and jumping around the room. In fact this picture is from today. He was jumping on the bed (hospital beds don't have springs and so are not very good for jumping) and broke his IV line. We keep it safety pinned to his shirt so it broke the IV tubing instead of his central line. (Whew!) I looked over to see his IV line filled with blood and leaking on his bed. But IV tubing is an easy fix. We watch Tangled (he calls it tangles) at least once a day and many other movies. We always start the day with some Mickey Mouse Club House and move on from there. By night time we build "towers" with Lincoln Logs and practice shooting people on TV and the techs with Nerf guns.
It really is better than last time because I can leave the room to get food, do laundry or go to the parent cart. Before he had to be asleep for me to leave but now I can get him interested in a movie or sitting down somewhere safe and run out for a minute. He will still run off without thinking about his IV line so we are still chasing him but at least I can shower while he is awake. All in all he is doing very well. We are so thankful for all our wonderful family and friends that immediately started taking my kids and caring for my family. Everyone is so amazing. The Lord has sent so many angels to strengthen us when ever we need it. We are so blessed.
