T finished his second round of this regimen on Friday. Overall the round went fairly well. Though his medication was intensified after his high blood counts last round, he did not feel more adverse side effects with the more intense medication. He slept more, but that's about all in terms of differences from last time.
Timmeh did end up going to his parents' house last Thursday to drop off some grass transplants that we got from my mom's garden for his dad's yard, but he only ended up staying for one night. Hana, his cousin, had the flu and his parents had been ill earlier in the week, so it wasn't exactly perfect timing. He reported that his mom had them quarantined from each other on different levels of the house, with Hana in isolation in the basement and T confined to the upstairs. Robert Frost wisely said, "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in," and unfortunately for Hana, it seems he was correct.
Yesterday he got the shot that makes him sore and he's feeling the pain today. I got home tonight to him complaining about the pain and he had apparently forgotten about the expected side effects because he hadn't yet taken any pain pills. So he took those and 1/2 hour later, that and a belly full of superfood combined with a comfy recliner and a video game subscription (thanks, Richard!) has alleviated much of the pain. We'll see if he needs a blood transfusion on Thursday. Homework time...
This reminded me, Mike would like to know if Tim has the games Prototype and/or Wolfenstein. Apparently he is done playing them, and would like to pass them on to Tim, if he's interested. I think we need to set up a playdate for these boys :)
