Appointments, appointments

Today at the hospital starts early...7:45a to be exact.

First stop: Opthamology

We need to make sure his eyes are not threatened by all the lesions in his eye sockets. The appointment goes relatively smooth with the exception of them putting drops in his eyes to dialate them and him calling out "Mommy help me. Help me!". I don't think it will ever get easier hearing him say those words.

The results finally bring some good news - his eyes are perfectly fine. She says we need bi-weekly appointments to make sure that doesn't change, but at least for now they are ok. She puts the hilarious 3-d looking glasses on him as we are leaving which he promptly removes in seconds.

Second stop: Oncology

First we meet with the doctor. She checks out his new cast (which is now red after the Friday appt with orthopaedics). Jenson also says his toe is hurting. He stubbed it (with shoes on) earlier last week and is still saying it hurts a lot. Dr Cavalier says, "He probably fractured it since his bones are so fragile right now".

His bones are fragile like he's a little China Doll.

She tells me they don't do anything about fractured toes but let them heal on there own. Thankfully he won't have a cast on his foot too.

She says, "It's definitely time to get him on the new chemotherapy.". You can say that again!

This chemotherapy is a slow drip over 2 hours each day. It's 5 days a week every 4 weeks.

First day down...4 more to go.
