Mitchell is home!!! We are all done with the hospital till Monday. On Monday he goes in for another PET scan, and on Tuesday he goes in for a clinic check up, he has Wednesday off, and on Thursday, well...Round Two! This second round of treatment will have five additional Chemo drug and more in the dosage.
The PET scan on Monday is to compare with the first scan he had and to see how much the cancer has shrunk, remember they want a 20% decrease. Fingers crossed!
Mitchell road home with me tonight. He got a gift card from his cousin Andrew for Best Buy, yep...Xbox games. As we're leaving the store he says to me- I wish I could be a normal kid with a normal schedule. I told him- you are a normal kid, you just have a unique schedule. So we walked to Target and out came a deep sigh, "It feels so good to be out of that place, walking around in the fresh air." What do you say to that other than, "yes it does."
So as I said we're home and the effects of the Chemo is evolving, he is tired and run down. Tomorrow he gets to hang out with Grandma for the day, and on Friday Tara.
