Happy Medicine...

Brendon had a rough few days with the mood swings and it was only getting worse. He was not sleeping very much at night and he was like a zombie. When we went to the clinic on Monday for Bren's chemo we talked to the doctor about maybe giving him some medicine that would make him feel better. It was very hard for Brendon to be so cranky. He told me that everyone was irritating him. He didn't want to play, eat, sleep or even watch tv. He was just miserable. The doctor put him on a small dose of "happy pills" to help him feel better. We were really hesitant to give him any other medicine, but we knew that Brendon was not okay. So Brendon started taking the medicine Monday night and this morning he was a totally different kid! He was back to himself. No more mad outbursts or crying for no reason. He told us today after school that he feels much better inside. Thank God! It's so hard to see such a happy kid be so miserable. He's been talking non-stop and laughing again. It's so great to have him feel better!


Andy loved his birthday cake! Here's a picture of it.

Tomorrow Brendon goes for his last shot in the thigh. He's VERY, VERY excited about that. He will also have 2 other types of chemo that day. He has been having some leg pains (common side effect of the chemo) and some body aches. Other than that he's doing very well.

We hope you all have a great night!
