1/12/09 Day 19.
First round of Chemo finished today. Blood transfusion overnight (starting to sleep through the flurry of activity going on around us) and a bag of platelets today. Apart from his physical appearance and an obvious decrease in activity, you would never know that there was a problem lurking within, as his spirits are high. His immunity will keep dropping despite the completion of the chemo round, so he is still very vulnerable to fever and infection, and in 10-14 days, as new growth should start to appear in his marrow, they will take a sample and start preparing for round 2. Talk of spending Xmas here with some time out during the day to go home..

Dear Snowman.
It was nice talking to you tonight on the phone for a little while. Glad to hear dinner was nice.
Will see if we can fix the chocolate bar supply soon, too.
Stay happy!!!
Good on you Owen - glad to see your sprits are high. Georgia spent her first Christmas in Hospital and the atmosphere was fantasti. Certainly a lot more activity and lots more entertainment.
