Just Thinking Out Loud

There are just some days that my mind drifts to my family and everything we have been through. The emotional roller coaster, along with the stress and watching your child day to day can catch up to you at some point. I think Greg and I feel that way at times. We understand there are many families out there not as fortunate as us to have close family, friends, donations and jobs to take care of Nick however we can. I am thinking today that Nick has not had chemo in his body for over a week now, nothing. It feels okay to take a break but also scary that his body does not have that poison in him to keep any leukemic cells from popping out. (for lack of better terms).
Nick is having a great week. He is on his 2nd day at Prospect Hill (daycare) and as much as I miss him being home, I am able to focus on work a little more. The daycare did call yesterday because Nick wanted to say hello. I really appreciate everyone there and working with Nick however they can to make him happy. He was excited to go back today after school. Socially I believe Nick is fine but how can you blame a kid that goes from clinic, to hospital stay, to home, to school and then daycare all the time to not be a little cranky about it. I guess that I just needed to get some feelings out today. Greg & I will be going to dinner next week with Parents from the clinic. It is a 'time out' event from the Tomorrow Fund for the parents. Nana offered to help us out and babysit, which will be nice to talk with some people who 'get it'.
