The land of no dreams... Day 431 18JAN10

Joshua had a busy day at the hospital. He got a real early start and was at the clinic by 8:30 for labs and to get accessed for his dose of vincristine. He also got some zophran and a pre-med for anesthesia when he got to the day hospital. His LP went fine and Dr. O did another great job. Joshua conked out pretty quick but took almost an hour to wake back up. While he was still under the nurses got him unhooked and de-accessed so we didn't have to go through the hassle of getting the cover-derm off while he was awake. As soon as he woke up I had to head off to a shoot but he left the hospital not long after and headed home with a quick pit stop for a little food on the way.

He had an okay afternoon. He is back on prednisone for the next five days on top of everything that he got today. Renee said he was pretty cranky but not too bad. He was pretty tired by the time I got home and was really fighting to feel good. His stomach got upset so he got another dose of zophran to keep diner where it belongs. We can always tell when he is not feeling that good and tonight was definitely one of those times. He will hardly ever complain even if he is in pain or not feeling well. Renee and the boys crashed just before 9, they were so tired that they didn't even stay up to finish watching the Lightning win tonight, that will make Joshua happy in the morning. Not only did he wear his special shirt today he wore an autographed t-shirt under that. I tried to get him to change before he went to bed but he wanted to keep it on for the entire game lest he ruin their chances at winning.
