baby update...

I just realized I have not done an update in awhile... So we went to the hospital for 6 days and he did AMAZING on the chemo. This sounds crazy, but the hospital is turning in to a 2nd home. I am starting to know some other moms and LOVE the nurses, so it is always nice to see people you know. I have to admit, this last trip was so much better and easier than the first. I felt more prepared and knew what I was in for.

While we were in the hospital I was taught how to give Dominick a shot!!!!! I was told I had to give him a shot once a day and I was freaking out! I was taught Monday and I didnt have to give him a shot until Thursday so it is safe to say I lost my temper and the stress was too much to handle. After the first day I became a pro and I felt so comfortable doing it. It also helps that the baby doesn't cry :)

We went today for chemo and his blood counts were SOOOOOO GOOD! So we are done with the shots for now :) We added a med to the list to help with his blood pressure and we will see the heart doctor next Wed before his next chemo. We also have to follow up with the kidney doctor one day next week as well. Thankfully we see Dominicks old doctor in Fontana to do the blood pressure (saves us a few drives a week!)

As for baby, he is doing amazing! Today he got a little fussy but I think it is teething and I think he is starting to feel the chemo and has not wanted to eat :( Even thought we have our rough days, cancer baby or not, all little ones have their days! thanks again for the love and support from everyone :)

Play time with Benny boo :)
