Not so good news today!!!!




After waiting all day with no food or drink, Brody had his CT scan at 3.30pm. It was a hard time trying to keep his mind off food. As all he wanted was his favourite pizza and Garlic bread.

We also had so many doctors and nurses, teachers and play therapists coming in organizing appointments with me and doing their normal checks, which this made Brody climb the walls.
No news from the EEG, maybe next week. Brody's bloods were low, so is now having a blood transfusion.

After the CT scan, we got back to our room, where Grandma, Grandpa and Luke were waiting with pizza and Garlic bread, Yummy, Yummy.... Brody was so happy.

Our main doctor that we are under and only met once come in with another doctor. I got told that we will only see our main doctor if there is something wrong. So you could imagine what was going through my head seeing her in our room.

The Bad news is that Brody has some type of Pneumonia. They have started him on new meds and will do another CT scan next week, if meds don't work he will have to have a needle into his lung to get some of the bug out so they can tell if its Fungal or bacteria. Its so not fair that we have to now fight this and it might delay the transplant. I have been so careful with him but like others i have seen, they can catch it from the hospital. So from now till after the transplant i am going to be more careful for Brody's sake. I am glad i got my flue shot as then i know i dint cause this. I am very upset at the moment as we have to battle yet another thing but i know Brody is such a super hero and will fight all the way.
