Day 34 – Saturday 24/11/07
Jay was awake at 5.00am. He would not go back to sleep so Grandma got up with him at about 6am they got dressed and went walk-about the hospital. They ended up in the computer room as normal watching his videos but he was not happy, he was in a lot of pain. We managed to stay away from the room till 9.00am to give mum and Julia a rest. He was visibly in pain and the nurse sent for the doctor and again he was given an injection to relax his muscles. He slept for about 2 hours but was in lots of pain when he awoke and tried to walk. The doctor returned and gave him an injection this time for pain, he fell asleep for a few hours and seemed a good bit better. He was put on his IV when he was sleeping so when he woke up he knew he couldn’t get out of bed as he was attached to his IV. He has been kept in bed all day to help the pain. It has been a really long day as I’ve (Nicola) had to lie in bed all day with Jay watching the Singing Kettle (I’ve watched it that much, I’m dreaming about it). Jay is even off his food, he is normally a really good eater. Everyone else I have spoken to hasn’t had any pain where the injection was, some people get a bad headache, so I think Jay has a headache as well as a sore back. Jay missed out on a trip to an indoor play area for children today as he wasn’t well, it was organized by the co-ordinators at the hospital for all the children. Poor Jay I hope he gets better soon.
