Connor brought Dr. Rose (one of his anaesthesiologists) some Almond Joys (his favorite candy), and has a marshmallow brain reserved for Dr. Kee (his radiologist) for when he returns next week from a Cancer conference.
The Oncologist we met with on Monday was very pleased with Connor's physical improvements since being released from the the hospital. He is now walking on his own, and for longer walks he is able to use his walker.
One of the other children doing radiation completed his last session today. His father is a tattoo artist and was very kind to give Connor some tattoo stencils that he can use to create his own "personalized" tattoos. Fortunately it's pretty quiet in the radiation office, but there is a 10 year old little girl who started her treatments yesterday. Although it is heartbreaking to see another child going through this, it is helpful for Connor to see he's not alone.
We took another trip to the Library today. I was pleased to see they have Children's DVD's. Connor picked up one for our morning travels.
Miss Horn came for tutoring. She brings such fun activities for Connor. His favorite so far is BINGO. The Monkey has been having a blast in class.
Connor hasn't been complaining of any radiation side effects this week. Last week he did get a sore throat from the treatment.
Tomorrow is the last day for radiating his whole head and spine. On Wednesday they will start radiating the tumor site only. We also will move up to the 1st morning spot (30 minutes earlier) starting tomorrow.
What touched my heart today: Connor telling me I'm as beautiful as the sun
What cracked me up today: Greg playing quiet riot on his phone to coax Connor up
post-Anaesthesia (the same music that Connor wakes up to at home when his alarm goes off lol).
