Day -9
Max had his first full day at the hospital and overall it went well. Chemo started at 4 AM this morning. Max must have been excited to get his treatment underway because he was wide awake for it. It took an hour to get him back to sleep. Sleeping has been rough, as they have to come in very often to check his vitals, administer meds, etc.
Max pretty much hates whenever anyone fusses with him, whether it is for a temperature check or for medicine. He especially hates the blood pressure cuff. Once the nurse is done, however, he returns to his cheery old self. He is eating and drinking like a mad man, which I am sure will stop when he starts to feel the effects of the chemo.
Max had visits from occupational, physical and speech therapy today as well. The are all going to check in on him every day to see if he is feeling well enough to work. Mike is taking the night shift and I am home with Grace tonight. I have to admit I am a bit worried about leaving him. I know he is in good hands with Mike and the hospital staff, I've just never been away from him.
