Isaac had his 5th chemotherapy appointment today. During Weeks 5 and 6 Isaac gets a break from his normal regiment and only gets administered 1 chemo drug. Lucky for us, it is the drug that doesn't take very long to administer. So his appointment today lasted just under 2 hours! That made this mamma very happy. :-)
During the port access this morning Isaac was somewhat fidgety. There comes a time when they have to sanitize the port site and wait 3 whole minutes for it to dry before they can stick the needle in the port and get going. You might think 3 minutes isn't very long. However, you are sadly mistaken; it is a very long time to hold an almost 2 year old still while trying to keep his fingers from touching the site, and while trying to keep him from breathing directly on the site. :-( We were at 2 1/2 minutes when Isaac decided he wanted to start clapping to the music we were listening to but clumsily touched the port causing the nurse to re-sanitize and wait an additional 3 minutes. LOL Can't keep this child from dancing! :-)
Besides this mishap, Isaac did great. He received a little care package from Child Life after his appointment. It was a box full of little toys and trinkets to keep him busy. It's amazing to see him being blessed each and every week. It's the little things in life that mean the most. :-)
When we got home he was in very good spirits and wanted to watch Madagascar 3. Here's a little video of him dancing (once again) to the the music. :-) ENJOY!
