Short but sweet – that best describes Hayden’s high-blood-count stint. He finally saw Transformers and I must say that I enjoyed the boys’ reactions more than the movie. They were so excited when Bumblebee burst onto the screen! Not exactly wholesome entertainment but hey, there was no getting around it. Afterward, they had a blast in the arcade…and the whole thing was repeated a few days later when Hayden and cousin Chandler went to Harry Potter.
Hayden was feeling well so we went to the lake on Saturday. He loved hanging out with his cousins and lake friends – they biked to the store for candy, played ghost tag, and went to the park. We hit the beach on Sunday and the strangest thing happened. The clouds parted and a massive yellow ball glowed in the sky. It emitted a brilliant light that radiated heat...I don’t know how to describe it but it felt great. People from all around came outside to wonder at this miracle, even frolic. Yes, we all frolicked....even Uncle Todd.
Hayden was back at the clinic today for a blood test (ANC = .61) and chemo (cyterabine via Iron Man port), along with an anti-nausea med. Plus we medicate him at home. Tomorrow he’ll be at the PDU for a spinal shot of methotrexate. The week will wind down with thigh injections on Thursday and Friday – then that’s it for the tough stuff. No sweat, huh?
