Alex really enjoyed playing with his friends this weekend, and singing Happy Birthday. Birthday Parties really have a way of reminding you of the simple joys of childhood. Playing with friends, watching them open presents, eating cake and ice cream...so fun!
We only had to take the Septra medicine this weekend - he has a free week while we wait for his ANC (Absolute Neutrophil Count - the White Blood Cells that fight bacterial infection) to rise. Hopefully Friday we will be able to start the next round.
We have started giving Alex Zofran more frequently - as his GI tract is in chaos from the chemo - nausea and loose bowels are common right now - which is really frustrating for Alex since he has been completely potty trained for months now, and he really hates having accidents. We have to remind him to tell us if he had an accident. It's OK if he has one, we just need to know so we can clean him up as quickly as possible.
The other day, Eric was praising Tessa-Lynn for the horrible smell assaulting our noses. Daddy was so proud that his daughter could make such a horrendous stench (go figure...) I went to change her diaper, and it was clean - I then went into sleuth mode, and found the offending odor on the floor in the upstairs bathroom. Alex had tried to go himself, and while standing, should have been sitting (enough said...)
Tessa-Lynn, not wanting to be outdone by her older brother then decided to spit up all over me. All Eric and I could do was gag, and then laugh - it was one of those weekends!
