Today was a good day.  We all got five to six straight hours of sleep last night, then woke up, went back to sleep and didn't wake up again until 10 a.m.  I forgot what it was like to sleep in.  But since I'm sure people don't read the blog to keep up with our sleeping habits I'll move on...   :)
Clayton did not get nauseas once today.  Very different from the first two rounds, but I'm not complaining.  He got out of bed a number of times to play and hang out.

He even showed interest in venturing out of the room, so this evening when the halls were quiet, we put on his pj pants and shoes and walked him (and of course his IV poles) down the hall to the nurses station and the fish tank.  It was a nice little adventure for him and a shock to the nurses since most of them have never seen him out of bed.  I wish I could have taken pictures.  He was so cute.  One of the nurses walked beside him to look at the fish tank and she bent over putting her hands on her knees and his cute little behind got right beside her and did the same thing!  A few minutes later though things went downhill, because he found the elevators and he kept walking us to the elevators and beckoning for us to pick him up.  He knows that's the way out.  And he wanted out!  Unfortunately tonight he has to get a blood transfusion right after his chemo is done, so we are here for the night again.  BUT they have our paperwork ready, so first thing in the morning we are outta here!
