Since this was a subsequent infusion we were able to try running the infusion a little faster today, which was nice in theory it made for a slightly shorter day but was much harder on Max. No smiles today. The benedryl was run by iv for 45 minutes to try to decrease the effect on his body, they even added a little fluid to try to dissipate the meds, but there was no tricking Max, he was pretty uncomfortable and not his usual self. We got our favorite infusion nurse Aaron and he was so bummed that Max didn't feel like playing with him today. Aaron thought Max had a really bad reaction to his premeds but I thought it was a lot better than last week. Once the effects of the benedryl wore off Max was finally able to fall asleep just about the time we were ready to shut off the infusion. We were excited to get home so Max could feel a little more comfortable.
