Day 3- Radiation and nose tube


They changed times on us so we were late to radiation today, but it didn't matter as so was the doctor and also the machine broke and they were getting it fixed. So we had to wait half hour before we started. I explained to Brody that he would be getting the nose tube in and could not touch it.

While we were waiting i was reading a book about angels, Brody wanted to read it, he looked through the book and saw the pictures and said i know them, I said you know the angels? He said yes they help me when i go to heaven forever. Oh my!!! I was in tears and said yes they help us all.
Everything went well, until Brody woke up and he tried to pull it out 3 times, it took the nurse and me to hold him down to stop him from touching it. I explained again and re-directed him to other things and he stopped trying to pull it out. So far he has had it in all day so hopefully he will not try to pull it out again, i have just got to keep reminding him.

His counts are getting low so will be getting a blood transfusion soon and might have high temps on the weekend, i have to keep an eye out. His tummy has gone down and they think it could be from not doing poos, but otherwise he is still eating and still doing well.
