Brody's check up went well, his echo (Heart test) was normal. His levels were low, so might need transfusion next week. They have booked him in for next Wednesday to go back to hospital for chemo depending if his levels are ok and they have a bed. We again waited around for long times and we were there for 5 hours.
Brody had performed again for the echo test and dressing change and seeing the Doctor. Brody has a few bruisers as his platelets are low and he keeps bumping himself when he performs. The Doctor said no wonder why he has so many bruisers, He is so active! I told her, no its because he is in this small room and you want to touch him and talk to me. Other wise the day was tiring running around chasing Brody through the halls of the hospital. We then come home and went to bed early.
Mum and dad come in and woke me up at 1.00am, as my grandfather had passed away. We had a few cries and had a talk. We then had to fix pop up ready for the doctor and undertakers to come and collect him in the morning. This might seem horrible but this experience has certainly toughen me up, i think i am prepared for anything. Mum used to be a nurse and she knew what had to be done, as if we left him he would of been to stiff for the undertakers (sorry if this offends you). My pop was a proud man and we wanted to fix him up for him too, he then looked so peaceful. Our family was very close to pop as we always went to visit him as kids and my two beautiful boys loved their great grandfather as well. Its been a emotional day, fixing the house up and sorting pops belongs out. We love you pop and will always miss you.xxxxx
