Owen is tracking beautifully.......after 2 days of chemo treatment.
Tuesday-2 shots into his central line (And then dropped off to school for the afternoon..brilliant).
Wednesday-The dreaded double injection into the thighs. 4 hour wait for an allergic reaction.
No temperatures, throwing up every now and then, but he is the usual cheeky monkey. The reaction can be delayed so we will just wait and see what the next few days bring.
Big news..... The biggest event on the Grade 3 & 4 calendar is the 3 day camp at Rumbug next week. It is spoken about constantly and greatly anticipated right from the beginning of the year. Owen had always accepted that his chances of attending were low, because of the 3 hours between camp and Royal Childrens. Dr Waters did not want to talk about it until we got closer to the time.
Owen was scheduled for a theatre visit and chemo right in the middle of the 3 days. Dr Waters is always concerned about his patient's mental state, and is aware of what Owen will miss out on. He peered down his glasses at Owen's puppy dog eyes and reluctantly postoned treatment for 5 days. It was a wonderful. Couldn't wipe the smile from his face.
Looks like I'm going on a camp as well (In case thing go pear shaped)..... Cold, water activities, damp grass.. all my favourite things... Yay
