Today we had our first dose of vincristine. We got to the oncology clinic and they put the numbing cream on the area where Blake's port is at. We waited 30 min then she came back and took his blood-to get his counts. Then gave him his dose of chemo. It was done with a syringe. I thought it would be an iv drip. It was so quick. lol. Totally unexpected. We had to wait for his counts to come back to make sure they werent low. While we were waiting they have a playroom with lots of toys to play with. So we brought some toys back to our room. One of the toys Blake seemed to love was a doll house. I think it was a Fisher Price one. He loved it. He was talking a lot. "Mama go up stair", "Dada mirror","Mimi night night shh" and he just kept on talking. I was shocked at how much he was talking-in sentences. He had his evaluation for speech a while ago-and she picked him back up-because his articulation and comprehension had decreased. So seeing him using his words and putting them in sentences was really great. Once we got his count results back they looked good. So we cleaned up-well kinda. I had to get the house out of Blakes hands lol. Once we were on our way out the door-Blake kept sayin "doll house mama"-it continues all the way home. I thought once we got home he would forget about it. Nope. lol. All night he has been asking for "doll house". I posted a request on my facebook, Im hoping someone has a daughter who has outgrown theirs. lol. He really really liked that doll house. Who would of thought. Its like the one thing we dont own. lol. He has really been getting into pretend though. We cook at his kitchen, and build houses with legos, play with his cars and garage, but we dont really have a house or mom and dad with a baby. Blake is such a funny kid. So far the chemo hasnt had any noticable side effects on him. He has been playing all night and he has all of his energy. He is a little fussy but he also didnt really get a full nap today. We are stayin home tomorrow just in case he is not feelin good. I have a feeling that he is gonna be fine though. Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers and thoughts. Blake is still goin strong! Oh and he still hasnt shown any signs of losing his hair-so thats great too! We have had a pretty great day!
