My First Treatment

Early Friday, May 22nd, morning we had to get up and drive a very long way. It was me, Mommy, Nanna, Uncle Travy & Auntie Heidi, Cousin Colton, Uncle Philip & Auntie Kate, Pawpaw & Memaw Barb. We all went to the fun hospital where there are fishys and very nice people that think I'm very handsome. I'm still not sure on what that means but I love the attention. When we got there Mommy took me to a room where they put this funny shirt on me. Mommy called it a hospital gown. After that they gave me more sleepy medicine. When I woke up Mommy and Auntie Heidi were there. Mommy called me her Champ and Trooper. When I was sleeping the doctor gave me this really cool new toy called a Broviac. Mommy won't let me play with it. She says it can hurt me if i pull on it too hard.
Mommy took me to another cool room where I had my own bed, fridge, chair, and video games. I met a friend named Steven that was on the other side of the room. I have exciting news, the nice doctors came in my room and told me that they looked over the pictures they took and they thought the tumor was bigger then it actualy was. They lowerd my doseage of the chemotherapy. I was supposed to get 2 days of Carboplatin, 2 days of Etoposide, 1 day of Vincristine, and after the treatment I would get G-CSF. But Jesus made my tumor smaller and the doctors decided to lower the dosage to 1 day of Carboplatin, 2 days of Etoposide, 1 day of Vincristine, and NO G-SCF.
The next day, really early, around 2am the nice doctor came and gave me my first dose of chemotherapy. Mommy said I did very good. I slept through the whole thing and so did Mommy. Nanna sat with me during the treatment. That whole day was a fun day. I had some of my family there. Cousin Colton was there. He was trying to steal my Mommy. I didn't like that very much.
Sunday morning around 2am, again, they gave me my last dose of the medicine. This time wasn't as fun. I kept drooling and spitting. Mommy said I was nauseated. But after while I was feeling back to normal. The doctors said we won't see the whole effect of the chemo until 7 days after the treatments. I will probably lose my hair, but I don't mind because I barely have any hair right now.
The next few days flew by really fast, but was fun. I went and got my hearing checked (just in case). I had to sleep through the whole thing. It was not a problem for me because I was very tired. The hearing lady told Mommy and Nanna I passed with flying colors.
Now, I'm home. I have a in home nurse that will come over and help mommy give me baths and to clean my new toy, the Broviac.
