Lumbar puncture at 9am. Doesn't matter how many times I do it, watching any of my children getting anesthetsised cuts through any macho bravado. I am glad he is asleep before he sees my fears. 5 minutes later, I am composed and wait for him to recover. Dr Waters is happy. He bets that we will be going through Emergency within a week... Bummer...... How's that for positive thinking. Unfortunately, with 36 years experience, Dr Waters knows a lot.
Some chemos are instantaneous and others slow working. The slow working one is going to knock him about. He needs 540ml of blood today. It starts at 1pm and we are out at 7.30pm.... Bloody long day! You can see his colour come back. Grey to pink... And his lips go from dull pale pink to red.
Lets hope he is at school for a few days this week..
The treatment room where you get medicines and injections in privacy.
Every home needs one....
You can see his pole and pump with life saving bloods hooked up to him.
