Home Again, Home Again, Jigitty-Jig

We’re home! We got home yesterday, and Wes has made slow, but steady progress since then. We are getting a better handle on his pain, and I think just being unhooked from all of the machines helps Wes to feel better. I am thrilled to report that he ate three brownies last night, and kept them ALL down!! He also at part of a chicken drumstick, and kept that down as well. He’s starting to act more like the Wes we know and love; he’s annoying his sister and demanding more time on the PS4. It’s wonderful to see.

At this point, we’re scheduled to return to Primary’s for his second chemo round a week from yesterday. I have to be honest and say that I’m quite nervous; if this first round hit him so hard, what do we have to look forward to in round 2? I try not to borrow trouble, but I have to admit that I’m not looking forward to what could possibly be coming in the next few weeks. However, perhaps I’ll be pleasantly surprised, and he’ll just fly through this next round. I really hope so!

You can see the petechiae from all of the throwing up he’s been doing here in his face. What a sweet boy!
This morning when I left for work. I mean, come on! How could you NOT adore that face?
