Kirk took Mason to radiation this morning. This was his second treatment - his first without anesthesia. It was important because it would determine if he would have to get anesthesia every time for the rest of the 28 treatments. Kirk explained to him that if he stayed still he would not have to have any more anesthesia, which would involve having a dedicated line in his arm. He stoically jumped up onto the bed, got his head bolted into his mask, and went ahead with the treatment perfectly. Once again the hospital staff was amazed by this brave little boy's ability to do this.
