Radiation Update

Curtis has been undergoing radiation treatment at the Ottawa General Hospital during the past couple of weeks and has now completed nine of the twelve sessions. He has been very brave and extremely cooperative laying still for what must seem like forever to him. The actual radiation itself lasts only a couple of minutes but with prep time visits are about fifteen minutes long. The technicians are great with Curtis and do everything they can to make him feel comfortable which is so great. They went to the trouble of drawing him a Darth Vader mask to keep track of his radiation progress (each day he gets a sticker to put on the mask) plus they give him other nice suprises along the way. The other day, Curtis met up with Molly the clown from CHEO. Molly wanted to come with us to radiation and mentioned that she would have something "special" for him to ride over in. Turns out she had a great little skooter for him to motor over on as the walk is quite far for a little guy! Curtis thoroughly enjoyed himself. In fact, Curtis had so much fun on the skooter that it's now in our trunk ready for each and every visit to radiation. Thanks Molly!
