Here Comes the Sun

Today has been a "good day" at the hospital. John was upbeat and kept those around him smiling. He had an x-ray of his chest, the results of which we'll receive tomorrow. He walked to the x-ray lab on his own doing his best imitation of a penguin.

The highlight of John's day was getting iTunes on his computer. He used his $25 iTunes gift card to download some new music. His current favorite is the Beatles, especially the songs "Help", "Come Together" and "Here Comes the Sun". He and his mom spent lots of time rocking out with their extra large head phones, courtesy of Uncle Geoff.

John also managed to whip his Grandma and Aunt Kelly in Sponge Bob memory game. No surprise there!

Our primary job over the last couple days has been to undergo training on how to administer John's medication and care for him when he comes home. I did my first blood draw today using his Broviac line. When I was done, John told me he was impressed.

Tomorrow John will undergo his next round of chemotherapy. We will continue to keep you updated on his progress...

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun

and I say it's all right
