Well, Its thursday now and no chemo this week.....Yay!! Oncologist said to give this week a rest so that Bobbinog's bloods can recover and we will run bloods on monday again, and if all ok then we start the 7th chemo then, being the 5th Oct. He is supposed to have his op on the 14th, so it may be a bit close and the op may be moved to the 21st. We have both days pencilled in, but I think 21st will be better as he can recover from chemo and get his blood up again. Time will tell. Mike arrives on 13th, can't wait. All the other kids more or less understand baby's "condition", in that he has an "oegie" in his tummy and only the docter at the hospital can give him special medicine to make it better, which explains the broviac in his chest. But I don't think Miki and Stasha really care, being 2, but Tommy does being 4. He is just worried over the "eina" on baby's chest, which is the broviac which is covered. On the whole they more or less understand when I go to the hospital. Things have settled nicely into a hectic routine, but its ok as the less time there is to dwell on thoughts and what ifs then the better all round. But the good thing is that baby is still doing well. He is healthy, happy, picking up weight and growing. If there are any long term chemo effects, we will deal with them as we notice them, but at the moment we dont see any. Anyways, will blog again probably next week when we do bloods and more than likely chemo. Thanks all for your interest and your prayers. Greatly appreciated.
