Chemo Day 3

Day 3..nothing much to report really (GREAT!!)  had a nice quiet day, same chemo regime which he seems to be coping with really well.

This afternoon he has been a little bit restless and hasn't quite known where to put himself...He MUST feel like absolute rubbish as he has had 3 days of toxic drugs pumped through him but...he is being very....Alex.... stoic and hardy as ever...he is still smiling, denying that he is tired and determined to keep going :)

I can see slight effects now...darker circles around his eyes, getting a bit paler and quieter...his tummy is a little bit upset but nothing major.

He has a bit of a rest day tomorrow...he is very pleased that he is not going to be hooked up to an IV for the whole day :)

As for me...settling into Alex's hospital routines now, making beds, cleaning teeth 4 times a day, bathing and applying all the cream to stop his skin from getting too bad, constant Ribena runs and all the hourly Observations and what seems like hourly meds...pain relief, steroids, anti sickness, anti fitting, drugs to protect his liver and his kidneys, drugs to protect his tummy, anti virals, anti biotics ( several kinds) there are more drugs but can't remember....the list seems endless.....Alex of course, knows what they are all called and knows which and when.... I may sign him up to Med School after this...he could be like Doogie Howser!!! LMAO.

I'm just glad to be busy....stops you being too scared :)

Well.... as usual, time for tea and the lovely mince Pie that Aunty Lou brought me today!!!! Thanks LouLou XX

Lots of love, night night XXXX

  1. Hi Alex, great video. Though not so sure it was the BED farting!!! Alfie and Henry say come home soon! they are both crashed out in the front room, probably because it is very windy outside.
    Very glad you have a rest day tomorrow, I wont miss anything then. Have you been given any more jokes by the staff yet?
    I have a busy day tomorrow, getting stuff to bring you on Monday.
    I will see you then, love you

  2. Hey Alex, my bed farts too, at least that's what Mike says :)

    Worst joke of the day for you, but my favourite and the only one I can ever remember

    What do Mexicans put under their carpets?
    Underlay, underlay.

    Keep smiling

    Lots and lots of Love
    Mike & Emma xxxx

  3. Hi Alex,

    I love your videos

    What did the bra say to the top hat?

    You go on ahead, I'll give these 2 a lift!

    Your Mum will probably tell me off (again) now!

    We are thinking of you

    Love Mike

  4. Farting bed.......really Alex???
    I hope you have anjoyed your rest day today - Whoo hoo!
    I thought I would share yet another good joke with you.

    A rope walks into a restaurant. The waiter says, "You'll have to leave, we don't serve ropes here."
    The rope goes outside and cries, and then rubs himself on the ground and ties himself. He struts back into the restaurant, and the waiter says, "Aren't you that rope I just asked to leave?"
    The rope replies, "No, I'm a frayed knot."

    Love and Hugs
    xx
