Beginning Our Journey

Tristans drs appointment today and updates.
I had to take Tristan to the drs today. He has had a good cold for a few days and last night he got the barking seal cough. With today being his super chemo day (once a week we add a half more 6mp pill and 7 methotrexate pills) I was worried about him over the weekend. Dr Trotta seemed to think it might be allergies since under his eyes were dark and he was blinking. I told him I have been giving him Claritin all summer and feel like it is doing nothing. I feel like I am giving it to him as a waste. He told me to switch to Zyrtec and to use this 12 hour cough syrup if he is coughing. So I got that all. Hoping to see an improvement.
We did not do any school today. I did pick up more school supplies at Walmart today. You cannot beat 16 cent crayon boxes. I mean come on. I can throw a pack in my bag anytime we go somewhere so conviently! I love it! And then the glue that is like what 17 cents? The rate my kids squeeze glue on that is awesome! And I snagged a few packs more of pens for me. I love knowing my pen is not dying. And figured I can always use pens. Oh I got two more packs of markers too. The rate my son leaves caps off. 
So anyways... We are on the down hill with his steroids. He is chunked way out! (If dad sends me pictures from last night at his house I will post them) So he is an eating machine. But I know we are on the way down because he wants food out of habit all the time. But if I am stern with him saying no you have had enough, he does not flip out. So I know a few more days he will be back to eating normal. It is crazy the ups and downs his little body handles/goes through.
I think I need to have two piles of clothes though. Steroid clothes and non steroid clothes. Because mom says his undies are too tight and I should get the poor kid bigger ones. Well just a few weeks ago they were loose! And I guarentee they will be again here at the end of the month! It is crazy! With their bodies being so little you can really notice a couple pound weight gain yk?
Anyways. I have to check on the kids. Just wanted to give and update.
