It's after 11:30 PM, and we just got home a little while ago. Today was mostly tiring due to having to wait around all day, but everything went just fine. Beckett had his port placement operation at about 4:00 (we had been at the hospital since 9:00), and we got to the day hospital around 6:30 for the chemo. Beckett had a slight fever but everything went ahead anyway.
Beckett was in some discomfort when he woke up after the surgery, but after some morphine he calmed down and was fine. When we went to the day hospital, he was able to watch TV and movies while he had the chemotherapy. The chemo took about 3 hours, but it was almost 10 by the time that we left the hospital.
While it was an extremely long day, the hospital staff went out of their way to make sure that it could all get done today, since they knew that we had already had to reschedule a couple of times.
So far, Beckett hasn't shown any bad reactions to the chemotherapy. He is on anti-nausea medicine and hasn't been sick yet. He doesn't really even seem too tired or down considering that he's had a very hard day.
Tomorrow Beckett goes back to Stanford for an MRI. It's important that we get it done as close as possible to starting the chemo, since the point of this MRI is to see if the tumor has grown between the last MRI and the start of his treatment. Beckett's grandmother (Pockaw) Barbara will take Beckett to the hospital and Cassie will join them later.
