A different angle of Blake sleeping
Blake and Alexia in the wagon
Silly Blake, I love how he manages to stay happy and chipper even when he gets 3 doses of chemo and a blood transfusion all in one day.
Well, Tuesday was a long day at the clinic for Blake, Alexia and Mommy. We were there by 10:30 am. Blake had to get his blood drawn for labs to see what his counts were. He has been looking a bit pale lately, so we figured he would need a blood transfusion and he did. He also had to have the peg shots in his thighs and a vincristine push in his port.

At about 2:00 pm he started his blood transfusion and was given benadryl to make sure he didn't have an allergic reaction since he was getting blood and the PEG shots which both can cause allergic reactions. Although Blake has never reacted to anything, it is better safe than sorry when giving him two things that cause reactions because we would not know which he was reacting to. Once Blake was given the benadryl he asked mommy to make a bed for him in the wagon. We stuffed the wagon with fluffy pillows and blankets and he was asleep rather quickly. Alexia also took this opportunity to nap, so mommy enjoyed rocking her and watching both of her babies nap peacefully.
Blake had to get the PEG shots, which was not fun for him, but luckily he was still so sleepy that he fell right back asleep after drinking a cup of milk. He was such a dear sweet boy through the entire day.
Once Blake woke up he was ready to be unhooked and we were released from the clinic! Mommy asked Blake if he wanted to go to Great Papa Bill's visitation ceremony and he said yes. Amazingly he was a bundle of energy, even with all the chemo, the nap did him a lot of good because he really enjoyed seeing Mama Corinne and walking to Bayliss park with her. He also enjoyed racing his truck back and forth and charming all of the people who were there to pay their respects to Great grandpa.
We have learned so much from Blake and continue to learn from him daily. For him to be able to have such a rough morning/afternoon and still have energy to keep going into the evening is just amazing! We were home by 8:00 and enjoyed the evening with Daddy!
