Out of Hospital!

Sorry everyone for not writing the blog up the last couple of days, but we were still stuck in hospital and my wireless internet broke and the hospital computer were also all broken.

Brody is still doing well, the chemotherapy he received had to be flushed out of him before they would let us leave the hospital. Saturday morning Doc's said should be able to go home, we waited till the afternoon for the results from the blood test. It turned out to be 300. So no going home and had to kept flushing his body with fluids and put medication in his cords to make him do more wee, wees.

Sunday morning at 6.ooam they took bloods again and Doc said this time for sure you would be going home this morning, i packed up everything ready to go as the Doc said no we wonted need to stay. He was wrong, we got the results back at lunch and they were still at 300, so Doc said double fluids and test him again. We then had to wait till 3.30pm for the results and found that they were still too high. The Doc was so sorry and explain that Brody was at the very slow list of passing the chemotherapy drug. I said it didn't surprise me as Brody always does things either over the top or at the bottom of the scale. So we had to unpack again and stay the night.

Brody has been quiet well through all this treatment as one of his doctors said to me most kids have a long delay after the first treatment but Brody had his treatment moved forward. The Doctor did warn me that the next block of treatment is very strong and will find him get more sick then. So i am not looking forward to the next visit in a couple of Fridays.

Brody is still happy, but he is not the old Brody some of you would remember, as he is less, less active, lost more weight, dosen't like going outside because of the sun and he has an obsession about ants, (Think that started at Brody Day care). He wont sit or stand near one ant, so there is no taking him outside for a walk or just to get some fresh air. Some of his problems are because of been isolated from children, outside and effects from the chemotherapy. The Autism also plays a big part of what is happening in the day to day events. I have noticed more and more the Autism as he cant just run around and hide it. I took a video of his flapping his arms around to show you but will have to wait till i get my computer up and running. Brody would always do this but with play, so hard to know if it was the Autism but now as he cant play he is calmly sitting there and then just has to moved his body around, he does this often.

The next time we go is next Friday for a check-up and a heart test. Which is to see if the chemotherapy has effected his heart. So hopefully we have nothing wrong with him until then, as the chemotherapy he just had can effect his levels for the next 2 weeks.
I am sorry if this week i am not on but i have other worries as well with my grandfather, and i need to be there for my mum and dad, who have been nursing him all this time. They too have had a hard time with only loosing their daughter (my sister) 2 years in July and now to loose my pop and have Brody sick, Their supportive and wonderful parents, and i need to do this for them too. Thank you for understanding. xxxxx
