Last night went better than I expected.  We had a great nurse and she made waking up every few hours ok... Grier did great with being woken up and asked to go to the bathroom even if he was still asleep.
Other than not going to  bed until midnight it was alright.... I waited with the bucket for the first round of vomitting but was so happy when we saw the sun this morning and he had made it through night #1 without getting sick.
This morning he woke up around 8:30.... ordered some breakfast... bacon (of course).... and ate it.  Again I was so glad to se him doing so well.  We took a ride on the IV pole downstairs to get me some yogart... and another visit to the gift shop.  Flashes of Hope ( an organization that takes black and white photos) came to the hospital today to take some pictures.... I signed Grier up .... :) We walked to the room and he did his photo session... and then we came back...and bulit more planes... and watched Bolt.  He fell asleep while watching the movie which is unusual for him... so I knew he was starting to feel the effects of ICE.  He woke up after a long nap and had a visitor.. he was very happy to see Leila... Grace and MacLean came up to visit... and then Coach Melissa and Maggie... It was a full day.  He was hanging in there... not feeling great but trying hard to do what he wanted to do.... After everyone left he started getting sick.... and after 3 nausea meds it finally stopped and he is asleep.  Hopefully he will rest well tonight... but we still have to wake him up to pee every three hours...  So we have two days done... 8 hours total so far of chemo.... There are 3 days left... and the bad news is it will not be Friday when we get to go home. ~Because they started so late... and chemo has to run the same time each day... we will have to stay over Friday night.
