Radiation

Nathan has begun radiation!!! I can't tell you how amazed I am at this little boy. He's adapted to this new life so quickly. Today they asked if he wanted to ride in the bed down to radiation or in his stroller. Usually he's put to sleep before going to radiation but today he got to ride down awake, sitting up. He did fantastic!!! He just smiled the whole way down, there's a few ramps they go up and down while transporting and they run a little when pushing the bed up a ramp and he loved that.

Nathan actually seems to like going to the hospital. He gets so much attention and he leaves with so many toys.

And his appetite has improved. He ate 4 chicken legs today along with 3 of the stage two gerber peaches.

He's very helpful too, he's learned the routines. He puts the monitor on his own little finger he holds his arm up high for blood pressure and even higher for his temp. He hops on the scale when told and sometimes the nurses let him push his own liquid into his port. He's very happy he remembers.

There's no tears about going to the hospital and no fears when the doctor comes in only excitement. He usually can't wait to see the nurses.

Lord thank you so much that Nathan has adapted so well to this new lifestyle! Thank you that he's not afraid. Lord we again pray for you to deliver him from this disease. Thank you for Nathan's smiles right now.

In Jesus name
Amen
