Radiation begins

Adam's first radiation therapy visit went smoothly. Martha says, "They love him there for some reason." I think it may be because Adam lays very still during the treatment and does what he is told by the technicians, but that's just a guess.
Adam came back from camp with a little more color and a little more filled out. He had gone to camp looking pale and too skinny. The counselor suggested we check for ticks. Luckily none have been found. Yesterday Martha and I escorted Adam, Camille and a few other kids down to Belmont College's summer fair. It was pretty lame but it was nice to get out. The weather is pretty and not too hot. I noticed that Adam continues to be easily irritated by the younger kids. But really who wouldn't be...they are flat out annoying. I was a little on edge myself. For reasons I probably shouldn't go into (read: work related) I have not been sleeping well and I think I have just been more of an a-hole at home. Martha keeps apologizing to me about her mood, but really it's me. Adam has been as fine as he could be and so has she.

I know he is feeling lonely though. He wanted his friend Antonio to come over on Saturday but 'Tonio is at Camp. Adam teared up a little as he found this out from Ron, Antonio's dad. Then we called JP's dad to find out that JP is on a two week vacation. I felt bad but I also wasn't going to feel sorry for Adam. I got onto him a little to go play with Gray around the corner or go explore. Heck, there are kids all over this neighborhood. He stayed put....I can only push so far.
