Things have been incredibly busy here. Today Anderson had his chemo treatment. Tonight when Jon asked him how it went he said, 'Bad!' That about sums it up. Everything went okay, but Anderson didn't want to go to the hospital and cried when we were leaving this morning. He cried again during vitals. It was the first time ever that he was less than perfect for his weight, temp, etc... After three stickers he cheered up a bit, but he didn't want his port accessed, the med student to talk to him much less examine him and he didn't want his meds today. He kept asking to go home.

The whole day wasn't horrible, but it certainly wasn't our usual trip to clinic. Anderson must have really enjoyed his time off of treatment! It had been four weeks since his last chemo and three weeks since his last trip to the hospital.

I know I have more to write, but I'm just too tired tonight! God bless and I'll write again when I get the chance!
