Well, I thought things were going to slow down. Owen's health has been good though he does have ups and downs. He will be working like a demon for hours in the backyard, then I will find him under a blanket, in the middle of the afternoon, watching television. He will go missing when he is tired, playing Lego or on his beloved laptop.
He went in this morning to surgery to get his central line changed from a "Hickman line" to a "Port".
A Port is placed under the skin. It is a covered with a membrane that needles are pushed into and it has a tube on it that goes into his jugular vein then down into the top of his heart. All his chemo and bloods will go through the his new Port. The Hickman line is a much more heavy duty central line that was fitted because of his original very bad diagnosis. Now he is in maintenance, he does not need it anymore.
Once it heals Owen will be able to have a bath, swim in a pool again and join Nippers. This will be a great achievement. This will be a great, great day...........!
