Port needle change

Needle meeds to be changed every seven days. Got poked today. I guess it took the surgeon three times before getting it right when he installed the port last Friday. Today we added the fourth poke. When we go home, they will take the needle out and put a new one in every time we go get chemo. It's one kind of ordeal to make your little one to swallow all kinds of nasty medicine; it's a different kind of ordeal to see your innocent kid be poked in many different ways (port chest area, spine lower back area, and hip bone marrow area). It must be very hard for Lucas to understand why he has to go through all those unpleasant things. I hope he will remember none of that when he grows up.
