10 down 23 to go. Today’s proton radiation treatment went better than ever. Jude was scheduled for 10 a.m. and we got a surprise call at a little after 9 asking if we could come in at 9:30 a.m. Thankfully, we are only a 5 minute drive / 7 minute walk away. Jude got in by 9:45, which is easily his record. He requested the gas mask today to go to sleep. I think it must make him feel like he is flying since he was moving his arms like he was swimming through the air. After treatment, he didn’t get his daily anesthesia nap since someone else needed the recovery room (they only have 2 recovery rooms for children). So, we were kicked out of there by 11 a.m. after they woke Jude up and went back to Jill’s House. Then Andy brought the boys out biking while I retreated to my office for the rest of the day. This evening Jude got the wagon from the playroom and went out front to wait for the volunteer to arrive with the Panera goodies. We waited and waited and I raced Jude and Levi around in the wagon to kill the time. Finally the bread arrived. Jude loaded the wagon with Panera leftovers and it took another cart to carry all the stuff.  While trying to help sort the goodies, Levi immeditately dumped a box of frosted brownies on the floor — a nice way to claim them for himself, I suppose. He then went to work eating one of the brownies off the floor. Soon his face was covered in chocolate. Jackie, the super sweet great grandmother who lives here full-time as a resident assistant, said to Levi something like, “Oh, look at you all covered with chocolate. Why don’t you give me a big kiss on the lips.” Levi is such a sweetheart, he gave her a big, chocolately kiss on her lips, much to her surprise. After picking what we wanted of the free food, the boys and I went to the playroom and after awhile, Andy got Jude and took him to the observatory to take a look at the craters on the moon and Saturn. Jude was pretty amazed that humans could build a telescope that could see so far. I feel like I missed out so we’ll have to go back there.
