CJ went the clinic this past Tuesday for his monthly chemo. This month he also had to get a spinal tap or sleepy test as CJ calls it. Chemo was a little rough this month. CJ got into his head he didn’t want chemo and there was no changing his mind. His ANC was 2300, which is a little high, but not high enough to do anything such as raise his chemo dose again.
After an emotional chemo we took the long walk across the pedway to Kosair. We get up to OMO on the 7th floor with no waiting. That is always good. Sometimes there could be up to a couple hours of waiting with a child that can’t eat or drink. But this time we got right in and with CJ still a little mad about chemo that was a very good thing. Then our nurse Nikki walked in. This nurse was very petite and pretty. CJ became an instant flirt. The normal process of getting CJ hooked up to the monitors is usually a pain at best. This time he was asking to help the nurse in any way he could. Not a single bad act or mean word came out of CJ’s mouth. He was brave the entire time, and acting as if he is the perfect angel every parent wants. So I decided that we need to keep Nikki, and send her to the clinic during CJ’s chemo days. Now if I could just talk her into it.
