Nathan received his second vaccine today. Although we knew what to expect, it was still a difficult day for all of us. Nathan always remains strong as always. The shots are very painful and he does not like getting his blood pressure taken every 10 minutes for an hour. He played with his magnet game and he ate a HUGE lunch while we waited. After the injections we found a kick ball and ran up and down the halls. That is the great part about kids. They go through so much but always pick themselves back up with a smile and let you know everything is going to be ok. Despite everything he went through he still made us all laugh by calling Dr. Jakacki and Kassie by name and talking nonstop the entire morning. He must have known we all needed a laugh.
Unfortunately, Nathan did get very sick after this vaccine. It makes him sick for 2-3 days and then he is back to his playful self. His next vaccine will be in three weeks, but we will do a scan before the injections to see the progress of the tumor.
Practicing Take Me Out To The Ballgame while we wait.
