Nathan had a better night last night. He was still up often but he went back to sleep relatively well. If his little brother Justin would just cooperate and sleep through the night we'd actually have a shot of getting some sleep. Thank goodness Carter is a great sleeper.
Nathan had a very low key day today. He kept saying that he doesn't feel well but when you ask him what doesn't feel well, he just says that he is sick. His chemo has caused some sores in house mouth and so now he has trouble eating but more worrisome is that he has pain when he smiles. That means he is trying not to smile right now and that sure distresses his parents because we are missing that wonderful smile. His face has gotten really chubby and when trying not to smile keeps his mouth very closed, looks very small on his face.
Nathan's big achievement today was that he was tired of waiting for Dad. He needed to go to the washroom but I was busy in the kitchen and said I'd be a minute. He rolled off the couch, crawled to the bathroom and got on the toilet by himself. He finished off and got back to the couch on his own too. That was during his energetic period of the day - it just didn't last very long but we know that he can do it when he has the mind to do it. His afternoon was pretty good, Shelley and he did all of his homework from school and he sat at the table for quite awhile doing crafts and worksheets with his mom. After that it was time for a nap though, it would be nice to be able to fall asleep like he does in the middle of everything - reminds me of his Grandpa Ray! :-)
