Wow, 3 months and all is good...
The Big O is technically unwell but he is doing well. His blood tests show that he is not able to protect himself if he gets a cold. But, as a cancer patient he is doing really well... And we know as we sit with these young beautiful people, once a week.
His tastes have changed which is normal when you are on cancer medication. He does not like sweet food anymore. Owen now loves savoury food. Salt, and savoury. He will accept a a beautiful Phillipa's brownie, take one bite then hand it back. Yukk....
He wakes up with nausea, throws up, has a small breakfast then is off to school. I never liked school at all.... So, there is something wonderful about his school that makes him want to go.. Impressive!..
Joel went off to a Trevor Barker(AFL footballer who died from cancer) camp today. It is based around playing sport with cancer patients, cancer survivors, and brothers and sisters of cancer patients. Despite his apprehensions, he will love it....
Update: He loved it big time. Played basketball with Andrew Gaze, AFL with 2 St Kilda players, Rugby with a Melbourne Storm player, Parkour around Southgate, Hockey, La Crosse, etc, etc etc. A highlight - Wheelchair basketball!.....
Thank you to Challenge (Childrens with cancer charity)
