The Come Back Kid...

Darell had his second chemo treatment Thursday. He did real well. He completed the treatment 1 hour quicker then the first time. I think this last time will be more about the time it will take to get it done. He walked about much better this time and had some energy till about 5 O clock. That is when he was done. He turns white as a sheet which is kind of scary and become exhausted.

Friday Darell slept most of the day and David spent the day with Nana so daddy could have some quiet. David got to have is first sleep over and loved it. He spent Friday night with his God parents. He ate pizza for them and ice cream which is amazing. They took him swimming and he warmed up to it.

By Sunday Darell had cabin fever and was ready to get out. He played in the backyard with David for awhile. Then we went for a drive or as we tell David an adventure. We drove to a new nearby neighborhood and looked at new houses. We enjoy looking. Don’t worry we aren’t serious. Grandma and Grandpa would like the new concepts of these homes. They had 1 bedroom with bathroom that was separated for house guests. Nothing stood out to us like wow we have to have that. We saw things in different houses that we liked. Next we got some ice cream and went to the park. This was David’s favorite part of the adventure. Overall a relaxing afternoon. My mom had come over about noon and went with us. She has been helping me try and get my weeds in the yard under control.

Sunday morning I had to shave Darell’s hair. It was very thin and blotchy. Now it’s mostly gone but what is left is short. Hopefully he gets in the routine of putting sunscreen on everymorning.

Darell had energy all day and his spirits were good. Today is preschool. I hope he feels good so he can go with us. So overall he did extremely well.
