Day One of Chemo....

So....Day one of Chemo almost done..just one more drug to go which will be a short one at about 10pm.

Hard day today....Alex coped really well for the first 4 hours and then really not so well.... very high temp and vomiting...poor little thing was shivering a shaking...I've never seen him so pale...and that is saying something!!!!!  They have got him on the big hitter anti sickness drugs now..the others weren't working so they had to up the game :)  Scary moment when they gave him the strong stuff and said " it will either work or make him worse....we have no way of knowing without trying....."
(gulp)....but....Hoorah!!! It worked fairly quickly and the vomiting slowed to a complete stop.  Well...it was either the magic medicine, or the fact that he had no more Ribena left in his body!!!! :)

He slept for a few hours and then woke up as good as new!!!! He is bloody marvellous...:) woke up just as Aunty Lou arrived and scoffed biscuits and drank MORE Ribena..... he has just about finished the first drug now and his body seems to have sorted it out (for now at least)

I'm hoping that tomorrow will be a bit easier for him now that they have anti sickness drugs upped...same chemo tomorrow, no new drugs until Sunday.

He is making friends with the Nurses and has announced his Joke of the Week competition...he has all the nurses giving him jokes which he will judge every Sunday and announce the winner.... The funniest moment for me today was the competitive streak in our very lovely Russian Doctor who said " Yes...I know lots of Jokes...I am VERY funny!!!!" ( that sentence said in a very strong Russian accent is hilarious!!!)

Anyhoo...off to make our beds and perhaps fit in a wee cup of tea before our night of meds and observations at 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am,6am etc.... Thank God for Clarins Beauty Flash Balm!!!! LMAO

Lots of Love, night night XXX
