Day 2 of proton therapy-Blake again did GREAT!! Our apt was at 1030-so we had to be there at 10. We went back to the Proton room with the nurse and Blake surprised everyone with a littlest petshop frog he had secretly put in his pocket. lol Everyone was laughing and wanting to look at it. Its so little-like the size of small grape. lol He pretended to make it hop on the nurses and they were screaming and laughing. It was fun. Then Blake sat on my lap on the table-pushed the buttons to administer his medication, then he was out. I waited in the waiting room, and about an hour later he was carried out to me. He was happy-but very hungry. We ate a snack, then went up to find the shuttle. We had a 3pm Audiology apt. We missed the shuttle by seconds-dang. lol So Blake played in the toy room and once the shuttle was back-HE WAS SO EXCITED!! He called it his 'bus'. So we got on the 'bus' and Blake was smiling ear to ear-he jumped in the very first row of seats-by the window. We rode to MD Anderson's main campus. NO CARSEAT!!! It was a big deal for him lol. I thought we might be able to be seen early-but boy was I wrong! I guess they are down to 1 doctor-it was like 1pm when I tried to check in-the receptionist let me know Id have to wait till atleast 230. Are you joking? wow! Ok-so they told me where I could take Blake to play. We headed to the OTHER side of the hospital and once we finally found it-CLOSED from 1-2. lol Oh boy. Sooo we went back down to the main lobby and I had luckily remembered snacks-so we found a table and sat down to have a snack. This took up about 15 min. lol. Soo we walked around-then finally decided to sit by the elevators we were going to be going back up and Blake ate a sucker. 5 min later-if that-the sucker was gone. lol So Blake decided to be the elevator helper. He pushed the button and by the time the elevator doors opened-someone was ready to go up. He did this for 30 min. He was talking to poeple, and telling them to have a good day. It was actually pretty funny to watch people talking to him. He had a BLAST! He is talking SO much now. Coming up with new things daily. Some of them Im not sure where they come from-but its so cute to watch. He kept telling people "Im Blake, that my mom". lol Once 230 finally came around we went up to the 10th floor and checked in. He ran around the waiting room like a race car-huffing and puffing its so funny to watch-he made more friends up there. Of course. lol. He is quite the social butterfly these days. Finally at 345 we went back to see the doctor. He had Blake sit real quietly and ran his tests. Blake did such a good job. I was totally proud of him-with having NO nap-and being such a long day. He is such a trooper. The doc said his hearing looked great! So off we went to find the shuttle/bus. Blake again was ahappy cameper on the bus. We got to my car-and headed home. I thought for sure he would crash-but nope he stayed awake the whole way home. Once my aunt got home we ran to the sprint store to look for a new phone for her-I LOVE the new HTC evo. Its SO cool. Too bad its so expensive. Then we all went to eat at Denny's. Blake was so good. He cracks me up-he ordered for himself-sprite, pizza and grapes. So grown up these days! Then we decided to run by Toys r'us to buy a potty chair for him. He has been telling me when he poops-so we talked about it and he said he want a big boy potty. Here we go...lol. I would LOVE to be done with diapers. However, potty training a kid with the use of only one hand-might be difficult. Im up for the challenge-i know im gonna have to help him a lot. But just to be done with diapers-it would be so great!! He is such a good kid. Now that we have been off chemo-I can totally see him changing. He has more energy and higher spirits. It makes me SO happy. Radiation does not seem to be taking the toll chemo did on him. So thank god for that. I know we are only 2 days into the radiation-but he is just doing SO well. Im one proud mama!! So day 3 is tomorrow-we are ready! Then tomorrow afternoon my hubby is flying in on a 4 seater plane lol. AngleFlight!! These pilots are donating their plane and time and money/gas. So its free for us! How amazing is that?! Im just so excited to have Phil down here with us. I have totally missed him these past weeks. 5 more weeks to go and hopefully we will be home! Although I must say-I am totally going to miss my Aunt when we leave. I am really enjoying my time with her. And all my family here. Its gonna be hard saying goodbye! Ok, well I better go run through the shower-we have a big day tomorrow. Thanks for keeping up with us! Talk to you all soon!!
