Day 3- post Transplant


Luke went back to Queensland today, we will miss him so much. He is still in alittle bit of pain but he will get better soon enough. Grandma has brought a supply of the iron tablets so he has enough for a couple of months. Hopefully he will remeber to take them.

Brody has finally been knocked down!!! he has pain and high temps. Doctors have told me the high temps can last for the next 2 weeks. They have him on regularly morphine and anti biotics. The morphine is keeping him comfortable, but he just lays on his bed, holding my hand and watching movies. The doctors have also told me that it will get worse before we are done.

The pain i am feeling watching him like this and having to make him get up and have a shower or get a needle or finger prick is killing me. But one thing i have learnt from my son is love will get as through and nothing is going to knock me down to comfort and help my little man get better.

Brody has had some moments where he has put on a brave face, (like in this photo). The shirt Brody is wearing is a OFF DUTY LIFE SAVER singlet, as he was going to start nippers this year at Forster/Tuncurry Beaches. He loved swimming at the beach and used to swim right out to the shark nets with floaty on. He had no fear and would always try and run back into the water when we were getting ready to go home. So he is OFF DUTY for now, until he is well enough to join up.
