1 down 29 more to go!

Connor had his 1st radiation treatment today. All went well.

We started a little later than expected. We were told the 1st treatment always takes a little longer since they need to adjust him several times to make sure they are completely accurate. We were there from 8-1130

The numbing cream was heaven sent. Connor didn't even feel his port being accessed today. He didn't even flinch. The radiation group leaves his port accessed until Friday, so he only has to get "poked" once a week.

In the interim we have to be careful about not getting it wet. He has a little tube (similar to an IV) that sticks out for access.

Again Connor woke up in a terrible mood from Anesthesia. The Doctor told us that should get better as he does it a few times (He will be under for less time, and his body will accept it better).

After the Anesthesia wore off we got a bite to eat and headed home. Connor was feeling up for School, so we popped in. Unfortunately Connor got sick at School (so sorry miss Horn). His teacher was so gracious. I was a little embarrassed :(

We're going to try a nausea drug tomorrow before treatment to hopefully curb his nausea.

We were told side effects don't usually start appearing until 2 1/2-3 weeks .

The best part of today: Playing hit the deck with Connor (the new game he got from the radiology toy chest)
