15/7/10 Day 247. Those damn steroids.

Owens health has been quite good. But the steroids are back though in smaller amounts over 2 months this time. He is not a ravenous beast as he was 6 months ago, but is always hungry, and his weight is increasing quickly with his face and body puffing back up again. And the moods.... We were warned, by Dr Waters and other parents... Negative and mostly argumentative, and without reason. So we have to remember this and calm him rather than fight with him.

However, his bloods are tracking nicely so we are relaxed for the moment.

This has been a week of highlights. From Bunnings (Still wearing their shirt, even to Day Oncology), Wednesday night - Everton Vs Melbourne Heart (Walked out on the pitch holding the Everton's Captain's hand, high fiving Tim Cahill on the way out), and some promotional stuff for Challenge (Children's charity).

Get the Herald Sun on Friday as there is a photo..

Big week........ Looking forward to the weekend. (Yep, there is the Collingwood game where he has been invited to run through the banner, promoting Challenge and their upcoming Charity event).

Owen slept heavily, lying across me, as we travelled home after the Everton/Heart match. He was exhausted, and as I held him, I could see how pale he was to his normal olive skin tone, and especially compared his brother. Owen would never sleep on a train when he is active, but this disease and the treatment knocks him around. Still, he is ticking the boxes.....
