Day 115, May 9
The day started off well. Allyson got up and was ready to eat, of course. Benjamin woke up, got dressed, and went right to Tita’s.
We lucked out and got a parking spot right in front of the Cancer Center today, thankfully. It was pouring down rain this morning! - Allyson was out of sorts today for this visit. She was more upset than she has been in quite some time. She wanted to sit on daddy’s lap to get accessed and to get her shot. Well, all I can say is thank goodness she wanted to sit with him because she got so upset, she tinkled all over Brad! Luckily, one of the nurses was able to find some scrubs for Brad to wear! - Ally was so anxious about her treatment today. I’m not sure why she was so upset today because they didn’t have to do anything different to her than they normally do. All I can think of is that she has been there so much this week, she’s sick of it. She also knows the meds don’t make her feel well.
The steroid has really stimulated her appetite. She wants to eat all the time! Spaghetti is the food of choice right now, or rather b-sghetti as she calls it. She wants spaghetti all of the time!
Monkey man had a great day today. He’s really been having so much fun after dinner these last few nights. He loves to run around and rough-house - such a boy! I’m afraid we are going to have a climber on our hands. He can just about get himself up on the kitchen chairs. He hikes up that, well, I was about to say little leg, but there’s nothing little about his legs…He hikes up those chunky legs and pulls with all his might…Ah, not quite, just yet, but I am sure it is only a matter of days. Once he can get up on the couch and chairs, it’s all over…we’re in trouble!
