Day one of Chemo



Well it is now 11pm, Harry and I are still awake and he is peeing on average every 20 minutes. Yes we have started the chemo.
We spent all day just hanging around and finally it started at 6.45pm. I felt really sad when it started, as I still can't believe that this is happening. He has this treatment for 48 hours and then 24 hours of hydration. My concern is how I will get any sleep as he has seriously been weeing every half an hour, if not more. The nurses have said it should slow down in a bit as the fluids slow down, but dear me sugar free red bulls will be on the next shopping list. Hold on I think he is asleep......yes he is finally! Some peace and quiet at last.
Harry has eaten every couple of hours and just half an hour he stole some sandwiches out of the fridge. Think he is trying to get even more stores in before he feels crap.
Hannah and Isabella popped in today to say hello, which made Harrys day and he showed them mega zone. (thanks Michelle for bringing them up!) Helen and Rebecca (mums from school) who work here also popped in, so it was nice to see some familiar faces.
I spoke to Ellie after Darren picked her up from Mum and Dad's and she sounded so grown up. No tears and quite happy that Daddy was going to put her to bed and he had promised to lie with her.
Anyway I have attached a couple of photos. Althought not sure if they have both uploaded. Harry practising for wimbledon in a few years and his favourite nurses taking his blood this morning.
The room has been painted a very vibrant green and the new carpet goes down tomorrow. Nothing like getting things done quickly. Think we have been talking about a new carpet for the kids rooms for over a year, but in less than a week it has been ordered and being delivered.
Got some more pictures but forgot the cable to download them so will do that later on.

Well that is day one over......and we might not have beaten Germany in the football but believe we won in the cricket!! Funny there has been no mention of that!
