On Saturday Sebastian got his last intense chemo treatment, so we are officially finished with the "hard" phase. Almost 10 months - wow, it's a relief. And he sailed through these past weeks with no illness or fever.
So now all he has to do is relax and let his body recover. Our next appointment is this Friday, and they will do a blood test to see how his values are. We are assuming that we will still be "quarantined" until after Christmas. Last time it took him three weeks to get his body back to a healthy state.
The last days have been quite draining. Sebastian is very hyperactive, doesn't sleep much, and is very stubborn about everything. I don't think this is a case of feeling good and being locked inside; I really feel this is a side effect of the medicine, or just being completely frustrated after all these months of medicine and restrictions. I think we will all be glad that the holidays are here, and that hopefully after the new year life can go back to normal. Sebastian needs to get out and play with his friends and children his age. He is so over being at home with mom and baby sister all the time, and honestly, I think I am over it too. We need outside entertainment. Thank goodness for Santa Claus' visit next week!
