Grant and Trent had a fun play day today with our friend Meg from the clinic. It was so sweet to see her and Grant play together. They were both on steroids this week so we were somewhat fearful of an explosion, but it was exactly the opposite. They played really great together, almost like they understood each other and what the other one was going through. Thanks to the beautiful weather today, they played and played outside. It was a little comical and sad all at the same time to see them both struggle to run correctly and comfortably with their bloated tummies.
Grant may have played a little too hard today. By this evening, he was completely wiped out. He was complaining that his tummy hurt, so I gave him some anti-nausea medicine. He never threw up, so maybe we caught it soon enough. We also forced him to take the bandage off his back from his spinal tap on Monday. It shouldn't have still been on, but he hates taking it off. He fussed, but handled it okay. He went to bed exhausted.
Funny, my Natalie always HATED taking of bandaids too after LPs. She had a central line and had to get dressing changes every week which made it all the worse. Now that she is done with treatment, I buy her lots of fun bandaids and let her put on as many as she likes as part of her bandaid therapy:) You don't always think of little things like that, but those things are hard on kids.
