Wednesday........ 3 days down.... and the side effects started today :(
Grier woke up this morning at 10 am--- not surprised since He was up late last night. We headed to the clinic a little later than I wanted to and he was not hungry.... maybe that should have been my 1st clue.... but I brought some things for him to eat at the clinic... and he drank a drink on the way.
The infusion went fine.... he colored a ton of logos and had all the nurses and child life chatting..... He told them he went fishing last night and they asked if he caught a fish??? He said... NO, but I caught a frog... :)
The chemo finished and he was ready to go.... he called Hayes to see if he wanted lunch from Chick -Fil-A at the hospital -- sweet Grier always thinking about Hayes.... so we took the elevator downstairs and ordered Hayes lunch.... Grier did not want anything (clue #2)-- As we were headed out of the chick-fil-a he started to throw up-- so I dropped everything to grab a napkin...??? I needed our pink bucket!-- the napkin did not work well so I picked him up and held him over the trash can as he violently hurled.... it seemed like it was forever but I am sure it wasn't--- after he finished I got him cleaned up-- and me :) and we headed back upstairs to pick up the rest of the chemo pills they owed us-- and then headed to the car-- Grier was fine after the episode -- I was a little pissed that no one offered to help as I held Grier over a trash can-- but I got plenty of the smile/smirk's as I held him....
He seemed a little better when we got home.... I gave him a quick sponge bath since he is still has his needle in his chest... and changed his clothes... and gave him another anti-nausea med-- He needed to take his chemo pills but I opted to wait just in case he was still feeling bad.....
MacLean came to watch the boys while I met Lesa and Robbie for lunch.... I have a whole blog to write about the new GGG bottle cap necklaces that were made for GGG and CFKC... another time... I want to get all the details right...
that is it--- I am hoping for an early bedtime.....
Tomorrow I know I will have the pink bucket with us as we go to clinic--- Live and Learn...
pictures are taken in the "confusion room"--- it is really the INFUSION room.... just a pod of chairs where the kids sit in GIANT chairs to get IV medicine and blood products-
