Back to school and feeling fine still. Great Stuff.
An observation.......
On 2 occasions when going into Day Oncology, a fantastic and very experienced nurse has said that when these children come in to get blood transfusions, she looks at them in awe. Their red cell counts are similar to a child coming through Emergency after a major trauma such as a car accident. Where they have lost a lot of blood and are fighting for their lives. The cancer kids get used to their sickness and learn to compensate and live with it.
She told me this after she saw Owen walk in with his heavy backpack after theatre. She thought, "Wow, I cannot believe that he is walking in, carrying his backpack. His count is too low to be doing that" ......
Amazing....
