Day +52

Another Sunday is over.  It was a hectic, yet over all a good day.  Zevi ate a couple of decent meals and Benjamin ate a couple of monster ones.  Zevi's diarrhea continues on bouts and that takes his energy down.  However, he drinks a lot which is good for compensating for the loss of liquid.

Around 11am I took Benjamin to the track at a nearby school and we jogged.  I would run my lap and Benjamin would run out to meet me towards the end of it, half the time to spit some fresh water on me (from the bottle).  Guess he was keeping me cool.  In the afternoon we make home made bubbles.  Did not get any truly gigantic ones, but we did not have the perfect gear either.  We did produce a few spectacularly long "tubes" and some very large bubbles.  I might be game for cooking up another pitcher of the brew next weekend.  In the end the boys make a complete mess, of course, and were covered head to toe in soapy water.  Which was perfectly fine - it was a warm day.

Zevi's gut continues to bother him.  We are not quite sure whether this is due to the virus or residual pain from the effects of the chemo.  So far we have only had to use Oxycodone once - the pain is usually not severe and not long-lasting.  We will keep our eyes on it.

Good week to all!
