Dance Party

Kean's trip to the hospital and subsequent Chemo was

actually quite entertaining today.

First off, we had a party going on in the blood draw room-- dancing,

singing-- you name it.

Sometimes, Kean's port is a bit persnickety and we have to get his arms

up above his head and getting him leaning forward just so... to get his blood to flow.

Cindy Jones was not only our date, but the holder of the boy today...

and an old pro at getting him and his port to cooperate.

We hung around longer than usual... first off, to get his counts,

which have crept up to 600.  Go figure.

With two daily doses of Chemo who would've ever thought they'd go up.

But this round of Chemo is not expected to take it's toll for another week or week and a half.

Kean also participated in another photo shoot.

Two of Kean's doctors have agreed to shave their heads to raise money for children's

Cancer research. 

So they gathered up all the "baldies" to act like they were going after the doc's locks

for a poster that will be plastered around the hospital.

Kean is sitting in the lap of Dr. Meeker (one of his Oncologists)-- and that is a mullet

wig he is wearing.

The other doc, is Derek-- an Intensivist from the PICU.

Kean was the least cooperative... he just wanted out of there.

But hopefully, they got a few decent shots to work with.

He has sure been grouchy and clingy tonight. 
Pops just took him for a "before bedtime" tractor ride.

Hopefully, that will bring back some smiles.
