Everything went good today with Bennett’s appt.  We had to wait a little while and did some social studies while waiting. He puts emla  cream on his legs where he is going to get the shots on his legs. He put two of them two low on his legs, they want to give the shots on the upper thigh where the muscle is. He could of  put more emla cream on and than waited 30 minutes to one hour. The emla cream numbs the skin so the needle doesn’t hurt as bad. Bennett decided he was not going to wait as he wanted to get back home for the Jr High baseball game so he took the shots without numbing the skin.  He has said before that it’s not really the needle, it is more the burn from the drug going into the muscle. We had to wait an hour afterwards to make sure he did not have any type of re-action. The PEG Asparaginase chemotherapy is given in the leg muscle because it won’t cause as many side effects if given this way.

He made it to Marion for the start of the Jr. High game to cheer the team on to victory in overtime.  He went to the mall afterwards.

He goes Monday morning for a blood test at local hospital. I’m anxious to find out if his ANC has dropped from the chemo this week.
