KD spent the better part of his day at Shands. He was supposed to only have gotten a chemo shot. But when he got there he was feeling a bit funky so the rolled back the process to take blood and run labs to make sure everything was okay. Nothing out of the ordinary so they ended up giving him his shot and sending him on his merry way.
He's having killer headaches from the lumbar puncture. And a bit sick in the belly, although that could be the medication or my cooking. I won't try to defend myself on that one. It must have been bad because he actually ... hallelujah ... was actually willing to take his anti-nausea medication for the first time in weeks. Now I am just waiting to hear the melodious burping he will hopefully succumb to.
Did you ever think the sound of someone burping would be this good? Well, any of you with kids probably have a similar feeling about bodily functions. Recently a friend (Damian!) was so proud of his new baby girl's first solid poop, he posted message to his mom on Facebook. A year ago this would not have been as momentous of an occasion in his mind. So here I am getting excited about KD burping :-)
Enough about that. Yuck! Right? On a less gross note, KD is doing very well otherwise. He's actually putting weight back on. A whole ten pounds! Yay! He needs another ten pounds before he's at a healthy weight, but he's getting there. And although his hair's not really growing much, there's still quite a bit of stubble there still.
Tomorrow is another day at Shands with labs and a shot. The he's got a "three day weekend" of not having to drag his butt to the hospital. He's still got chemo pills daily as well as all of the other pills. But that's better than braving the parking garage and sitting in the waiting room for ages at the hospital.
Oohh! There's a burp! Yay!
