When will it begin?

After coming in for chemo and having to wait to get a room, all Adam can think about is when will chemo start and stop. His chemo started late because they were waiting to dismiss some other person who was on the floor. I can't believe sometimes the amount of people who are dealing with cancer, ranging from the smallest little baby to adults. It just doesn't seem to end.

We got into a room around 8 o'clock last night which put off his first dose of chemo. Today, he is very quiet and not talking much. He slept quit a bit, according to his dad. He hasn't eaten much of anything. He says that he isn't feeling bad, just not hungry. They have lots of fluids going into him and that is putting off him eating real food.

I've asked several times if I could order some food for him and it's always a "No". I have finally gotten him to agree to eat a popcicle (grape). That always makes him feel a bit better. Yeah! for grape popcicles.

School!!! Adam has been working on his own without any help from school. He's gotten a couple of packets of work and has been working on them. We have been trying to find someone who will tutor or at least come in and help from time to time. No luck from the school and the school interventionist is emailing and calling the school to find out what is what. I think that we may have a solution with having a friend tutor Adam in the subjects that he is having problems with so that he can get the work done that he needs to have done. This will get worked out. I'm just going to have to keep pushing the issue!
