Rough Day!

Brody was yelling out all morning, "I am hungry". But i could not let him eat. He also was very stress as he would not do any thing the nurses wanted him to do. I told them now they know why he cant share a room, as he was yelling, hitting, kicking and trying to bite us. He was on his full show today. It worked out good as a special person come in and could see what he was like. This wonderful person was Jill from ABI, she is a behaviour therpist and she worked wonders to get Brody on her side. She is going to be coming every week to help Brody, me and the nurses and Doc's. He had lots of laughs and giggles, it was good to see a stranger making him laugh. A big special Thank you to a wonderful women that has help us out in so many ways, Chantelle!!!! Thank you for introducing us to this wonderful lady, she helped his morning be so much better.

Brody then had to go into the clinic where he had his bone marrow test and Lumber puncher, this is where they put two small holes in his back, one to get bone Marrow out for testing and the other to put chemo in his spine, to stop the cancer cells from travelling up the spine into his head.
Within an hour or so Brody woke up and went back to the ward.

Early this morning they also started him on a chemo drip, which is still running at 10.30pm tonight. He has spent the hole afternoon throwing up but is still eating chips, icy pole and jelly.
One time, when he was throwing up really bad, i was in tears and telling him i was sorry that he had to go through this, my little man, while still chucking up touches my check and rubs it so softly. Made me cry even more. He is always worried about mummy and tells me he will never leave me and that he loves me and i am the best cook in the world.

The rest of the day he has been sleeping and resting while watching TV. Grandma and Grandpa popped in for a little quick visit to give me a break, but other wise it has been just a normal day at the jail house. This is now the start of the second block of chemo which approx will go for about 2 months give and take, i am expecting to see him be alot more sicker, as docotor told me that most kids are set back for ages before they start this block and Brody was brought forward. After the second block, he will then have a third, then they start preparing him for transplant. So approx looking at around 4 to 6 months before transplant.
