Tomorrow morning we try again for the radiation simulation. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and we will be able to start treatment Monday. Today we had a clinic visit with the oncologist. She went over the type of chemo Alex will be receiving and discussed the side effects. The chemo he will be taking is in capsule form and since Alex doesn't know how to swallow pills yet, Andrew has to wear a mask and gloves to mix the inside of the capsule with a bit of apple juice for Alex. I hope it's not too gross, so he takes it easily.
Last night was a long night! We have a baby monitor in Alex's room so we can hear him if he needs us. Last night he was talking in his sleep and I had to keep getting up to see if he needed me, only to find him sound asleep. He did wake up at about 2:30 AM and wanted a midnight snack. He decided he need a pancake and sausage on a stick and some sparkling water. It ended up being a nice time together. He felt good and was wide awake and it was quiet with just the two of us.
With the little sleep we got last night, he is pretty tired today. Here's a picture of Alex snug in his bed
What a sweet loving mom Alex has. <3
