Day 1 Cranial Radiotherapy

A big thank you to Copiworld at Seven Hills for their generous offer to Laminate Brody's Superhero posters. This will help Brody feel more at ease in his hospital room and give him the strength to keep fighting. Thanks again.

Today we were taken to the adult hospital for his cranial radiotherapy. Brody did really well accepting that they were given him meds in his cords to put him to sleep. After he was asleep i left the room. I then had to go and wait in the waiting room.

After half hour they called me into recovery, where Brody was still fast asleep. Once he woke they took us straight back to his room, where all he wanted was food. His head and face were a little red, but faded after a while.

We had a big sleep today as they told me it would make him tired. But otherwise everything went well. They have also started to give him some new meds to help his stomach for transplant.
Thank you for everyone for understanding that there is no visitors allowed as Brody is in isolation and his counts are going down each day. Thank you again to all my lovely friends and family that have helped us through this tough experience, as we wouldn't of made it this far without you all.
All families that are in this experience suffer from financial hardships as they have to pay the same bills, as they were paying when they were working and then have extra costs on top for meds, extra food, entrainment for brody in hospital and list goes on........ so the outgoings are more than what they get. There is not alot of help out there, they can only help with so much, so please if you know of a family in this situation, donate, buy vouchers, do things around their house to offer support don't just ask if there is anything you can do for them, as people in this situation find it hard to ask for help. Thanks, xoxoxo
