Dr. Vohan Kumar

Session 6 of chemo is done. Rohan is quite the pro at this now. He knows the drill - numbing cream on his port at home, blood work and weight taking in the hospital, then video games, and finally seeing the docs and nurses for his chemo. His blood counts were low at today's visit, so we will have to be extra careful. He calls himself Dr Vohan Kumar at times, and gives his "bunnies" medicine and bandaids when they are not feeling too well.

Playdate!

Yippee yippee yay!
Ashtyn's coming to play today!
Quite an uneventful Thursday - Rohan still has his imaginary bunnies, he had a busy day playing with a bunch of stuff. The highlight of his day was Ashtyn's visit with Steph and Jennifer. Lots of squealing, hide and seek and a fun filled evening!

Bunnies, Billu and More

Its been a while since my last post, and a lot has happened. Rohan finished his 6 radiation treatments, like a big boy. He even did two without anaesthesia (one day because he was sick and nauseous, the next day because it was saturday and staff was minimal). He was awesome though, stayed very still in his "spaceship" while the techs took "pictures" of his tummy. At the end of it, they were so proud and happy that he even got a new train! Salty the dockside diesel! And miracle of miracles- its one that he didnt have already :)
Its been very challenging getting him to take oral meds though. He has a sticker book now, for each med that he takes, he gets a sticker and a surprise at the end of 10 stickers.
Priya came to visit us June 5th - 7th and we had a great time. Rohan loved the extra attention, and also got his 10th sticker. His surprise was a red Beta fish in a bowl - christened Billu! Billu is thriving, Rohan is running around, 5 chemo sessions done, radiation done. Im still hoping for the best, praying that all goes well, and enjoying all the company.
