A Good Day

Monday was a good day.

Owen had his ninth chemo treatment and Joey joined us for his first time on our visit to CHOP. As usual Owen did beautifully, it is amazing all that he goes through and how unfazed he seems. I was a little concerned about how Joey would handle everything. Joey had a few questions during Owen's port access and when we went into the Day Hospital where Owen is hooked up to the IV and gets his medicine. He listened to the doctors and nurses answers and was great with Owen, playing with him and making him giggle. The oncology unit was having a carnival fundraiser for leukemia, so Joey was thrilled that one of the volunteers(Kathy this lovely woman that is always there on Mondays and who's face lights up when she sees Owen) took him to get his face painted. After our visit to CHOP, which Joey deemed AWESOME, we went to the Philadelphia Zoo for the afternoon. Joey lead us from exhibit to exhibit, needing to be persuaded to even stop for lunch. Both boys loved the sea lions and the gibbons.

Nine treatments down...hopefully just one to go...
