So far, so good with this chemo. Nathan did throw up yesterday morning a few times. His allergies were bad and he had a lot of mucous and was trying to cough it out and so I think he was more suceotible to vomitting. We gave him some medicine (like benedryl) that did the trick. We gave him some before the oral chemo last night and so far this morning he is fine. He did have one episone of diarrhea last night but it apprears to be isolated because there was not more afterwards. We will see how today goes.
Nathan did fine with the infusion again yesterday at the clinic and so we are set to give it at home the rest of the week. They were giving him an anti-diarrhea medicine at the clinic that cannot be given at home and so if he gets diarrhea during the infusion at home we may need to finish in the clinic.
His second day of school went well. His current problem is that they go outside to eat snack and play and he hasn't managed to eat his snack quickly enough to get to the playground. He is not a quick eater - so he will just have to prioritize I guess. I love sending him on that bus - to go off and do his own thing...he is ready for that and I am so happy for him.
Julia has her preschool orientation tomorrow and starts next Tuesday. I know she is going to LOVE it. Poor thing was trying to tell her grandparents all of Nathan's ancedotes from Kindergarten - which was making him mad. She definately needs her own thing.
The other little Gentry seems to be doing just fine. He or she is pretty active and I am enjoying feeling him or her roll and kick.
If all goes well - Nathan next goes back to the clinic on Monday for counts.
