Yesterday was a day of rest, meaning no meds and so Cutler slept through the night with no issues for Melanie.  Fortunately they have put a bed in the room for us, so Melanie was able to get some decent sleep as well.  This morning they started chemo and as expected Cutler is showing no ill effects yet.  That shouldn’t start for another few days. 

What he is showing instead is an over energetic engine.  Maybe it is because we are cooped up in a small room, but he seems much more energetic and harder to wrangle than Mason ever was.  It’s a constant wrestling match with him to keep him out of everything he shouldn’t be getting into and changing a diaper is an amazing exercise of battle of wills.  Fortunately I am currently winning, but I am sure he will surpass me before you know it.

But don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining.  While it can get frustrating, it is hard to get mad at such a great smile and it is actually refreshing to see how much of a fight he has in him to help him beat this.
