Day 15/Day 3

Zane started chemotherapy on Wednesday.  So far he is tolerating it pretty good.  He's not to found of vitals or people touching him.  When the nurses or doctors ask him if they can examine him he usually replies "no thank you."  They are getting a kick out of how polite he is.  He was able to rest on Thursday and Friday.
Zac had a slight fever last night and we thought Bob was going to have to bring him into the ER.  (I was with Zane at the hospital.)  Bob called the on call oncologist and they said it give it an hour and if the fever is still 100.5 or higher to bring him in.  After an hour Zac's fever was below the threshold and by the time he woke up it was back to normal.
After a long night Zac had his first round of chemo as an outpatient.  It was a long day.  His appointment was at 10:30 am and we didn't leave until 5:30 pm.  They had to double check some labs and he needed a little bit of blood.  Somehow we ended up with more play doh and toys to bring home.
