It was however, a loooooong morning. Very few times have I ever felt light headed or nauciuos at these appointments; today unfortunately was one of them. The IV process was not very smooth, its needed to get bloodwork and inject contrast for the scan. With tears in his eyes, Liam politely kept saying "no thanks" when asked anything, read a book?"no thanks" Want a prize,"no thanks" draw some blood? "no thanks"...
It got worse in during the scan, they needed to do a second IV. I think I would have preferred screaming and kicking versus the sadness, and the why are you doing this to me looks. I am thankful Liam has little memory of needing to do such things almost daily at one point in his life.
But we made it through that process, with a little bit of waiting in between, and are finnaly on the way back home. Liam is sound asleep next to me now... We'll get a call in a couple of days with our next appointment in February, next time they're thowing an echocardiogram in the mix - just to check on any side effects from the doxirubin and/or radiation on his heart, but for now he's just looking forward to a trip to Friendly's later today.
