Day 4

My days are starting to have some consistency now. Wake up, eat, play, eat, nap, eat, bathe and sleep. Kinda like home, except at home I don't have as many visitors, people checking my arm, fever checks, or blood pressure measurements. These happen every 4 hours, even at night. The doctors here just want to be sure I stay fever free and symptom free from my meds. That's something new too: the meds. Mom still tries to sneak crushed medicines into my chocolate ice cream, but I'm on to her. Yesterday's excitement was an hour long IV push of chemo, so strong and unique that I only take it one time during my first 28 days. Sometimes kids get allergic reactions to it, but I didn't. All was well. Thanks for your prayers.

Infections and germs are the second biggest enemy for me, the first being the cancer itself, the playroom has a garbage can that toys go into once they've been played with, so that my germs don't go to anyone else and so that I don't play with toys that others have touched. Keeping clean and germ free is really important.

Here are some pictures of me on day 4.




I love reading!



Going for a spin around the 5 th floor.



I'm ambidextrous !



I climbed into and out of this car a lot yesterday.









Dinosaurs!



Here's the dirty toy bin.



Where'd the toys go?

Have a safe an uneventful weekend. Thanks again for your prayers. So far, I'm doing well. Four X's on my calendar and no fevers!
