Check Up!


Brody enjoys seeing Domenic and Ethan before grandma takes them to school. Brody really loves his counsins and had fun playing playstation with them.
Went to Hospital first thing today. They took bloods out of his cords and then we waitied, while Brody run off again and again. (must be feeling better). Then we saw the Doctor, she told us that because his levels were good, they will bring the chemo forward to this tuesday. There goes our 2 weeks rest. Lucky we dont plan any thing! He will be having a bone marrow and lumber puncher, with chemo put into the spine. Also having chemo on the drip into his cords, so its a couple days stay again.
Brody also had another nose suction, it was the worse one to date. As the silly nurse told him before i could get a hold of him, so then he was hitting and kicking everyone. I finally got him down on the bed and we held him down. It makes you feel like a terrible mother and you just want to run and cry, but it has to be down. I always end it by giving him a cuddle, while he is still telling me off.
We also saw the hospitals OT and she is getting things ready to help us out, by making visuals of what Brody has to do in certain areas and situations, and also getting help with a speech person from the hospital. As we have had problems with one lady that does speech. She told me they dont have the facilities for an Austium child. WHAT! I got on my high horse and had a good old argument. You would off been proud of me, sticking it up her! She still caused me alot of stress. So OT lady is going to find another speech person from the hospital, as she also had problems with her.
Brody is still eating lots and lots and drinking all his water. He didnt have a sleep again today, he is alot more active as well, must be because of his levels beening good.
