Well, here we are again,our home in the city.The 17th floor of MGH has become like a second home to us.(Unfortunately) Nols started his 2nd round of chemotherapy yesterday and so far so good. The drugs that help fight the tumor are administered at night while Nol is dreaming of better things.We have been told that there are always side effects to each drug so this morning a battery of tests are given to make sure the chemo isn't damaging his hearing. Next, an echocardiogram is done to monitor the impact that the other tumor has on his heart. The whole time Nolan is glued to his favorite video on tv. Gotta love Baby Einstein!!! Next up... Food. Trying to find something appetitizing for the little prince is not easy. Maybe he will feel like eating tomorrow. After a nap and sponge bath we wait for physical therapy to begin. WE NEED TO START CRAWLING!!! These are just some of the activities that fill our day while we are here. I can't help but think of all the summertime fun other kids his age are having while cancer leaves Nolan stuck inside. I look forward to the day when Nolan can live the life of a normal little boy.
