Im a big boy - but its ok to be a baby sometimes

I cant believe its been 2 weeks since R's surgery. He is coping quite well, and has had one chemo session and 3 days of radiation. At today's radiation session we spent 30 minutes prior to the session walking around the corridors, looking at animal crackers in the vending machine, counting turtles in a fish tank, and coloring thomas the train pictures. R fusses to have the anaeshesia mask on him, but luckily he goes down in a few seconds. He came to as soon as the mask was removed, which is quite unusual i am told by the Drs. He woke up crying that he wanted to go get animal crackers out of the vending machine. He wolfed down a big box of cheerios, and milk and was back to normal in a few mins. We spent the rest of the day playing, going to the lie-vwy (library) and the park. Half way through with chemo. BTW: This quote is courtesy Rohan on the way to radiation, and i think it really applies to the way all of us are feeling right now - trying to hold on, but feel kind of like helpless babies at times.
