The shots are quick but, I am sure, quite painful. Thankfully after all the build up the real pain only lasts a few seconds. Afterwards we have to wait for two hours at the clinic in case Joshua has a reaction to the drug which is quite common. Not a big deal if we are at the clinic, a really big deal if we were not. Today, no reaction, everything was fine.
After his two hour prison sentence he was let go and headed straight for Grandma and Grandpa Gandy's to join the rest of the family. His energy level was good and he had fun playing with Jamie, Bella, and my dad out in the backyard. He can still wallop a tennis ball pretty hard. It was a nice break this afternoon before we all had to go our separate ways. Jamie and Christian headed home as did Renee, Joshua, and Jarrod. I had a class to go teach. Joshua spent the rest of the evening resting with no ill effects. He has not had any problems tolerating the PEG before.
Tomorrow is physical therapy and a visit with Ms. Lydia to get some more school work done. We left his port accessed so he can get his chemo on Wednesday without having to get stuck again. The afternoon will find us hiding from the heat and running back and forth to get food for Josh from the kitchen.
