It has been a nice break in between treatment. J was able to attend school on Friday. This is the first time he has been to school since February 11. Grandpa took him to school. They were having a Harry Potter Day. This would be the first year at Hogwarts given that he is 11. Crazy, he could be learning spells and flying broomsticks. Makes going through chemotherapy seem kind of dull and boring. His class was happy to see him. Apparently when Grandpa dropped him off, someone in the class yelled 'Jonathan is here" and in a moment the class was surrounding him. He then told Grandpa he could go. Mom was worried the whole time that he would be tired or feeling unwell, and I had to hold her back from checking in with the teacher to make sure he was OK. He lasted the whole day. One of the teachers thought he had shaved his head just for the event. He was dressed up as Voldemort. Maybe someone has pictures that will make it to us, and I can post.
He took his medications without complaint for the last several days. He had a friend visit today. He ate bone-in pork chops and enjoyed eating the meat straight from the bone. He took a walk with the family around our neighborhood tonight and I noticed just how scrawny his arms have become. He's in bed now, hopefully asleep. This is last night to sleep without somebody coming in to his room and waking him. This is his last night to sleep without getting so many IV fluids that he makes a trip to the bathroom every hour.
