Today was the last day of Rituxan infusions for Oliver. He was a rockstar- nothing to report. We did have the same nurse we had for our first clinic infusion again. Shannon came to ask us about the protocol. We were confused as to why she was asking. It turns out last week they had increased the infusion rate. We hadn't known at the time, but that is likely what caused his elevated heart rate. We were thankful she was so aware and took the time to ask questions. After a quick discussion, we and Shannon decided to go with the slower rate again. It was a good decision and Oliver spent the whole infusion tearing up the toy room. One of his favorites is Don't Break the Ice. He loves to hammer the ice blocks out of the frame. So funny! BYE BYE CHEMO!! We are done with that mess.
When we got home around 6 we went directly outside. Oliver went swimming (again) with all of his clothes on and helped Nana with her planters. He kept bringing handfuls of flowers up the stairs to her. It was amazing seeing him climb stairs again (and with his arms full to boot!) It was a short play time since Ollie had such a long day (with no nap). After his medicine had a few minutes to work, I took him upstairs and got him ready for bed. Oliver usually requires 3 books, prayers, singing, kissing the pictures and the animals ALL before he will settle down for bed. Tonight, however, one book- partially read- and he was O U T out.
