Day four went much better than the last day four after my chemo infusion. I was up several times to go to the bathroom but not sick at all and that was such a blessing. I was able to eat however everything I ate tasted weird again but not quite as bad as last time. I was so thankful that it was not as hard as before.
Owen woke in a great mood. I checked and some of his favorite people were going to be at church. He was very excited about that. I’m thankful he has so many people in his life that he loves and that they love him. It is great knowing that he has lots of people helping him grow.
He kept talking about school on Friday. I told him he goes all week. He kept saying it so I reminded him about the five minutes rule. He then said take the tablet. It was like he was processing how it works. He has done incredibly well with this strategy and I know he is so much calmer than he has been.
We got ready for church and I could tell he was a little more elevated. I know he is processing all his emotions and some days are harder for him. He did great on the way to church but he still was anxious. He talked about seeing his friends all the way home. He wanted me to drive by several things on the way home but by this time he was starting to scream about the places. I went back over the rules of giving each other kindness and grace so we went straight home after we got our lunch. Thankfully by the time we got home, he was calmer. He ate all his lunch and even ate the cheeseburger first.
I got his bus schedule for tomorrow morning. I know that will help him with his routine and he will be so excited to stand in his favorite spot to watch it pull up. He was concerned about his week ahead because he didn’t think he would go back again until Friday. Starting on a Friday is so hard for him to understand. If they do this again next year I may consider telling him school starts on Monday and talk to his teacher about it. It puts so much stress on him even though he understands the days of the week starting and then having the weekend is hard for him to process.
I’m thankful he was calm as the night went on. I know that as the days move forward he will be more comfortable with his routine and excited for each day ahead. He laughed so much today and that makes my heart happy. His little giggles fill the air with joy and that’s what we all need most.
I am thankful I was able to eat today even though everything kind of tasted like tree bark. Not that I’ve eaten tree bark but I would have to guess it tasted like that. Each day I pray for a better tomorrow for everyone. Positive words and positive actions equal a positive life. Let tomorrow be your best day ever and embrace joy. Smiles to all and donut daze!
