Friday!

Hi All,

I am very excited about it being Friday. The week has been busy with school, boy scouts, a visit for Isaac to the dentist for a filling.

David is doing very well post-chemo for this round. The biggest issue for him right now is that he is not eating properly. He is also waking up inhumanely early (this morning 4:30am). When he does this, he also wakes up his brother, so we are all suffering from lack of sleep around here. He did go back to sleep, but it is disruptive in the middle of the night.

His new eye is looking quite nice except for the fact that it has spent most of it's time upside down. It is pretty traumatic to him for us to try to take it out and turn it right side up, and then he fights us so hard when we put it back in that it ends up turned around. So, we have left it for the time being. We'll give him a few days of rest before we attempt to flip it right side up again. The process of taking the eye in and out isn't painful, but it causes him a lot of anxiety, so he fights. He will hopefully get used to the process and even be able to help us by doing some of it himself as time goes on.

We go back in on October 2 + 3 for the next round of chemo. They may even try to run the chemo as out patient this time instead of admitting us. We'll see what they decide.
