Chemo Round 4, Day 7

Collin had a pretty good day today. He was allowed to go out of his room as long as we just stayed in the hallway that our room is in since it has the same specially filtered air as the room. So when it was time for physical therapy, he was excited to put his sneakers on and practice walking in the hall. He seemed proud to be out walking and getting attention from the nurses, and I know he enjoyed getting out of the same four walls he's been looking at for the last week. When it was time to come back into the room, he was very unhappy, until he saw his lunch tray come in! This afternoon, Neya and my Mom were here when he woke up from his nap; when he opened his eyes and saw them, he sat right up and was pointing to them and smiling and saying hi-he was very excited to see them! The mucositis is starting; he is starting to sound hoarse and congested. I don't think he's going to feel well over the next few days..
