Monday overhaul… Day 570 07JUN10

Joshua got up early this morning and headed up to Apollo Beach Elementary to help thank them for doing an outstanding job raising money for Pennies for Pasta. He went by every classroom and thanked all the students. As soon as that was finished we all loaded up and headed to the clinic for his overhaul. He got his port accessed followed by his pentamadine treatment. Next came his vincristine and then he got his port de-accessed so we could wait for lab results. His labs are still looking good and his ANC is at 1325. We also got to invite our favorite monster back to stay with us for a week. That's right he started prednisone again today. He had several good meltdowns this time and was pretty emotional over tiny little things. After a little while sulking he would bounce right back and rejoin society as the sweet child he normally is. Looks like it is going to be a fun week this time :)

Jarrod filled the house with good smells tonight when he baked up a batch of oatmeal scotchies. YUM! He is really a good baker and enjoys every minute of it, especially the taste testing part.
