Seems like only yesterday I was sitting in this hospital bed, with Harry beside me, and now we are back again. We had a good few days at home with not much sickness and lots of energy. Harry managed to go to school on Friday and enjoyed seeing all his friends. Then after school we went to point walter, which was great as it made life seem a bit normal for a few hours!
Harry had his new television put up in his room which he is very happy with and then on Sunday we went to Circus Quirkus at the convention centre. Lara came over for a play on saturday and it was good to hear lots of laughter in the house.
Forgot to mention that last week when we were in the hospital the Radio Lollipop volunteers came round and we were chatting to a lady (whilst playing Uno) who turned out to be best friends with Mrs Humphreys, Harrys previous principal. What a small world!
After this chemo has finished we are back in on Monday for the start of the next five weeks treatment. PEAC testing is being done for year 4's on Monday so have arranged for Harry to do the test in the hospital. As the chemo doesn't normally start till early evening he should be feeling ok, and even though they can do a make up session later on in the year he is likely to be feeling worse then than he is now, so really got nothing to lose. It will also give him something to do as he is not too enthralled with hospital school. Think the point of going to school is lost when you are one of one or at the most two kids in the class. I am beginning to see the main incentive for school is the chat, and also realising every day how much he takes after his mum!! On Friday he said he felt tired and didn't want to go to school, so I offered him a lunch order and he was up and dressed in minutes!! Again just like his mum!!
Well I had better go and get some sleep, after I wake him for a wee of course! Night to all, and again thanks for your camp quality contributions. Slowly but surely we are getting closer to Harrys new goal.
