We're back!

Well we were admitted today. We came in at nine and we were unpacked and watching TV at 9:45. We are getting good at this! We thought Critter would cry and freak out, especially since when we came to our appointment the other day he asked everyone numerous times if he could go home. But today, to our surprise, he acted excited. He set up his blanket and stuffed animals in his bed and asked me to turn on "Mouse" (mickey mouse club house). We then had an echo (this one is a base line so they can do another later to make sure they don't damage his heart, the drugs he gets this time are really hard on the heart) and a CT scan (last time with his infection he got little pockets of infection in his lungs and they wanted to make sure it had cleared up). They gave him versed ( a sedative that makes you feel drunk) before the CT scan and he was SO funny. He laughs at everything and thought it was hilarious when the nurse took a blood pressure on his leg instead of his arm. They also placed an IV in his hand for the CT scan and once he got the versed he thought that was funny too. He tried to count his lines (he can usually count to 3 but when your two and drunk its really hard)and he thought it was really funny that he had 3 lines now! All in all it was pretty good. We got some great news that he is in remission after the first round! That means we get Ara-C, Doxarubicin, and Etopiside this time for 8 days. He has had all of these meds before so I'm hoping for nothing too unexpected. You would think that I just sit all day up here but with Ruby here and Day 1 with Critter I feel like I haven't had 2 minutes to sit and breath. I just hope everyone sleeps good tonight.
