The weekend was good -- laid back, quiet and relaxing. All three of us went to church on Sunday morning and Sawyer was able to help out with a youth group fundraising luncheon afterward. His appetite is getting better although strong smells still bother him. He's starting to feel better, more "normal" and looks good, although he's losing some of the hair that had re-grown (I can never tell if the hair on the floor is his or the dog's!).
School beckoned and he attended this morning, the first time since he attempted a few half days back in December. He had to sit out during gym class and watched a Richard Simmons video with some fellow students who had forgotten to bring their swimsuits. He was pretty perplexed about what people ever saw in Richard Simmons and I'm not sure I was able to give him a satisfactory answer! He chuckled when he said he actually misses school food! It helped that they had one of his favorite school lunches: popcorn chicken.
I picked him up during lunch so that he could be home when the visiting nurse came to draw blood. His medical release only allows him to attend half days (and still be tutored) so he will do that this week and next. He'll decide if he wants to go for the morning or afternoon each day, depending on which classes are offered when. This three week gap in treatments is a real treat and a much needed break for him, mentally and physically. It will help him get through to June when the maintenance phase begins.
