The last few days have been more difficult. Kiah developed a fever along with an ear infection and Mucositis (sores in his mouth and GI tract- common side effect of chemotherapy). He is on Morphine and Ketamine to help with pain and after a few days of figuring out doses he seems to be much more comfortable.
Thankfully today we've gotten more and more glimpses of that fallen shoe. First through shy smiles and moments of familiarity. Short conversations through horse voices and strained laughter. And later even more so as he giggled with the nurses, clapped to the tune of a band playing in the hallway outside his room and even shot a few hoops with Daddy before bedtime. My sweet boy is back for the moment… Momma just needs to take it one day at a time and lace her shoes tightly.
Ps. On a side note… I've been using a lint roller for the curls strewn about his pillow and it's been hard to keep up. We were curious as to when he would start to lose his hair and how quickly it would go. It started on Sunday and by Monday evening after bath time he was left with a few wispy strands all over. I personally think it adds to his charm, my little old soul now has a little old haircut.
don't let the pictures fool you… this sweetness was captured before and after
