We were lucky enough to have Mrs. Scott, Brookelyn's Kindergarten teacher from last year, help us out by watching the kids all day, so that I could go sit with Allen during treatment. Of course, the kids had a BLAST and we were able to relax and concentrate on Allen's chemo knowing they were in good hands. (We told Braedyn this was his "interview" for Kindergarten, and if he wanted to be in Mrs. Scott's class, he better be on his BEST behavior!)
Chemo actually went great! The Ninja was out of town, so we just went straight back to the treatment room. And, Allen was assigned to his favorite nurse, so he felt comfortable knowing that she knew how to man-handle his port. She got blood return right away and we were in business. Things moved right along after that, and we were in and out in record time!
Allen felt ok on Saturday, and he had a great run and workout. But, Sunday after his run he felt pretty crummy. The yuckiness carried over into Monday too, and he tried to get lots of rest to get over his "chemo hangover." The good news is that Tuesday he woke up feeling great! We think that is a sign that the rest of 2013 is going to bring great days too!
