4 days of unwellness. Owen has had enough by this point. He has finished his chemo for this round and his bloods are improving but he has been throwing up constantly for 4 days. This photo is at 8am. He bravely pulls himself out of bed, lays on the couch, holding a sick bowl. He has no food in the stomach, but this does not stop the vomitting. And then we coax him to take some medication to prevent lung infections, which he does, knowing that it will make him throw up. He cries as he takes it, and sure enough, within minutes he empties out
what little is in him. He does not give up... he tries again.Sunday afternoon, he perked up, picked produce from his garden, went to his favourite place, Bunnings, for potting mix and herbs, finished off the herb garden, and helped me with work around the house. He ate a sausage, drank freshly queezed juice and felt good, before he slumped that evening. You can see that the weight is starting to fall off him. Hopefully he will be right to go back to school on Monday.
The harvest... Beans, tomatoes and capsicums..
