Egghead........!

About a week ago, Owen started dropping hair onto his pillow. We were all shocked and he was really, really disappointed. "I don't want to lose my hair Dad". He loved having hair...... As the week went on he slowly got used to it and it became terribly patchy, so it had to be cut. I cleaned it up before this photo was taken.
To be honest, we never thought it would happen again... Dr Waters warned us that this round is a rough one. The drugs will drop his neutrophils, exposing him to infections, so expect an emergency visit..
He is off the steroids and you can see the weight gain clearly now. Despite the cheeky smile, his temperatures are getting high and 3 hours earlier, his temp was 38.5 and we were ready to get off to Emergency. He looked awful and felt awful. But it dropped and we managed to stay out for another day. Bags and supplies are packed. We have had showers and are ready to go.

3 styles of hair in our household.
Curly, straight and buffed.
The troublesome 3.
Today is Owen's 7 and 1/2th day off school in 2 weeks. Last week - 3 and a half days with back pain. This week - 1 day for theatre, 1 day for Day Oncology, and 2 days sick. He is super desperate to get back to school. He wanted to go this morning but stomach pains prevented it.
