Between nice naps, Alan was showing a little more activity. His sleep definitely seems more restful now that he isn't in so much pain.

He can multi-task now!

Mister Cheeks sleeps some more
It has been another quiet day. Daddy bought big brother Kevin to visit Mommy, but because he was a little sick, he couldn't come into Alan's unit. So Daddy had some time with Alan while Kevin and Mommy went for a walk and hung out in the lobby reading, visiting with friends and blowing bubbles.

Looking good so far
The doc just came in to check on Alan (in a pink golf shirt and a white "clean room" jump suit, but he *swears* he's not the Easter Bunny). It's too soon to really say how the treatment is going, but there are several encouraging signs: the swelling on his leg and other parts has come down, he's becoming active again, he needs pain medication less frequently and he has an appetite this morning. Barely 12 hours after the first treatment! There will be another dose of just one of the drugs next week, not the whole course that he got last night.
Charge on!
Charge on!
The return of the monkey
After the last bag of chemo was removed last night and he had a bit of respite from all the poking and assessment, Alan got a little feisty. He took his hospital gown off and was rolling around the crib, pushing to sit up, sometimes getting tangled up in the IV lines. We even got some of his signature babbling. It's the most active he's been since the surgery.
The doc came to check on him at 11 last night. Everything looks good so far, and he's interested to see how Alan will respond to the chemo.
After some more partying around the crib, Alan actually settled to sleep, such deep sleep that they were actually able to get a full set of vitals (BP included) with no fuss in the wee hours of the morning.
He's continuing to sleep, after having a nice amount of milk. That is such a big relief, since he only drank of couple of ounces of milk or water yesterday. We'll see if he feels like playing when he wakes up.
