Shave for a Cure!

Yesterday at the hospital we had the wonderful Jill come and do some activities with Brody while waiting in the clinic. Brody got his bloods taken first and then we did some behaviour activities with him. Then we had to go into the small little room which Brody hates to see the doctor. Brody was worse then normal as he had been stressed all day about getting a sharpie. He tore the room to shreds, he throw the pillow at the doctor and throw the pencils all over the room. Jill has come up with some great ideas to help with this process.

After the doctor we waited again and after a few attempts from Brody to run off, they finally called us in. The chemo room was packed with other kids, and after the morning Brody had i didn't think it would be great for him to sit in there. So i remined the nurse that he had a running nose so we could get our own room. We did and Brody got his chemo and Blood transfusion in peace. He could sit up in the bed and watch his own movies. An hour before the blood finished two nurses come in and helped me hold him down for the sharpie. Again he hated the whole world, but he soon forgot about it, as i let him go up the see through lift. He loved the ride!

We have to go back on Friday to check his bloods and then back next Wednesday to do chemo all again. Brody's levels are low and still has his running nose. It is getting harder and harder to take him to the hospital as he cries the whole way and then wont get out of the car.

Today Brody's cousins Domenic and Ethan were colouring their hair for shave for a cure at school, which was a gold coin donation. I (Aunty Vicki) gelled their hair up and sprayed it blue and red. Brody also wanted to do this, so i gel the little bit of hair Brody has and sprayed his head. They all looked so cute! Domenic and Ethan told a friend they were doing it for Brody to help him. Love my Boys!!!
