ok, its 8.00pm and its the first time i have been able to take some time out and do something, while Brody is watching a video.
Brody woke up at 2.00am this morning and turn on the Tv and played DS, then he feel asleep again and the nurse turned it off, therefore i was up most of the night with the nurses coming in and Brody waking up.
I then got up at 5.30am to get ready for our day, while Brody sleeps in. At 7.00am the man come to take us to radiation. The radiation took an hour and we got back to the room at 11.30am. Brody then started to vomit and vomit and vomit. They gave him something for it which helped him have a half and hour sleep before we had to go back again. So i was busy all day washing out sick bowls and holding them up and getting tissues to wipe his mouth. It was really hard to watch him go through this, and its not even that bad yet.
We went back to radiation and everything went well, but as soon as he woke the vomiting started again, again and again until they gave him something again for it. He has only eaten 4 Jatz biscuits all day. This is not like Brody, normally he eats like a horse.
We got back to our room at 7.00pm and then i had to give him a shower and get him ready for the nurse to give him all his meds. They are also giving him a transfusion which he has never had before, it is called Intragam, its a blood product and helps to fight infections. Brody's levels are very very low of this product so they have to give him some more tonight also his normal feeds through the nose.
So we are both very tired and worn out and cant wait to get off the computer to go to bed. We still have 2 more days of this and then the next lot of days is 4 showers a day for 4 days, which again will make me not have much time to talk or message people.
