Samuel Job Mashariki Carrasco

This week at clinic Sam was given vincristine, plus he’s now on decadron again (five days a month, every month, from here on out). Plus it’s really hot. All that adds up to a tired, weak-looking boy. He went to Harambee for a minute, but then wanted to come home. Kafi wouldn’t let him, but she did let him play computer in her office. Then he came home at midday. I went to get Micah from Aunt Shirley’s, and Micah went to sleep at 1230pm. And she was still asleep when I left the house. Sam fell asleep on the carpet in the den, a first for him. He’s ok, he just needs to rest a lot while the decadron and vincristine are coursing through his body.
