Getting Stronger

It was a beautiful late summer day in the Twin Cities and Peter’s mood matched the weather. He had a busy day playing and he just fell asleep on his bed (7:15 PM). It’s been a bit of a challenge getting him to eat and drink enough, but the nurses seem pleased with his consumption today. We make up lots of games to make him take a bite or a sip. If you score on him in air hockey, he takes a bite. If you say you like the Vikings if you actually like the Packers, he’ll take a sip.

Tomorrow is the last day before the chemo starts. I personally am excited for the real fight to begin, but not looking forward to the short-term effects on Peter. I think we’ll have a head shaving party in the next day or two.

After dark each night, from the fifth-floor perch of the hospital room, you can see the fireworks show from the state fair. That’s kind of a treat before bed.
