October 8 Update

The little pischer discovered that if he "doesn't feel good", he doesn't have to go to school. His Grandma came to town for a visit last week, so he decided he didn't feel good. He stayed home from school that day and got to play with Grandma. In the next few days, he got a little cold, which he's attempted to milk so he can stay home from school. Now he's just fakin' it every morning. I'm starting to threaten him that he's going to have to repeat first grade if he misses more school. Since he does have occassional bouts of nausea as a result of his condition, it's hard to tell when he's crying wolf.

As soon as we complete parent training (which is a story by itself), he starts daily Human Growth Hormone injections at home. I'm sure it will be an ordeal at first, but hopefully he'll get used to it. He's now used to his yucky Sunday Kaexolate dose and his bandage changes at dialysis, so it will be a matter of time.
