Clinic

Last week was crazy so I am just getting around to posting about clinic. Kael had clinic on Tuesday because of the Monday holiday. We woke to a snow storm that we were not to nervous about until we actually got on the roads. It was worse than we thought. We usually do not take the Canyon (Sardine) but had to take Kace to Aunt Merr's house for the day so decided we would go that route. They had closed it earlier that morning but had just reopened it before we left Merr's. We took it anyway, and once we reached the freeway the roads were fine. Needless to say we were 1/2 hour late for our 9:30 appointment. They got him right in and took care of chemo and everthing but it was backpoke day so we had to wait until 1:00 before they even took him into sedation. Kael and Trey had another appointment @ 3:00 so we had to hurry them along so we could make it on time to it. We barely snuck in lunch and made it on time. By the time we got perscriptions it was 5:00. Long day. After we got home Matt realized he had left his backpack w/ his laptop in it @ the pharmacy. Luckily the staff retrieved it and he was able to pick it up first thing the next morning. Kael did great with his backpoke but was groggy for quite some time after. I was sure we would have some vomitting but he did awesome!! They decided to up his meds so now we are @ 125%. I can tell it is taking a toll on him this week. He has been crouched over complaining that his belly hurts for two days. I'm sure this has to do with the increase in medication, especially the steroids. I am out of prevacid (lines the stomach so the steroids will not damage it) but am calling the clinic tomorrow if it hasn't gone away. Other than that he is doing well. He is doing well in school and has started reading. His teacher just loves him so I hope between that and his good looks she will forget about all the homework he "forgets" to hand in. I found his Valentines (the ones he was to hand out) in his backpack last week. His excuse: "I lost them mom".
