21st November 2009 – 3rd Stem Cell Treatment
November 21st, 2009
Sorry peeps for not posting yesterday after Keiran’s 3rd treatment but I was completely wiped out & was asleep by 9pm.
Yesterday, the nurse came in around 11am & inserted his canula. Although, they didn’t get it correct the 1st time & it was a case of 2nd time lucky. He then went upto the IV room at 1.30pm and sat talking & listening to his music on his Ipod. Although, he did have company as Sam was receiving his treatment at the same time. Keiran didn’t complain once as he sat there for an hour whilst the stem cells travelled through his IV. We then went back to the room & he was full of beans! As for me I found myself totally exhausted……..I think that will be the case everytime he’s due to receive the treatment. As we cuddled on the bed waching a dvd, I fell asleep. Once again his canula needed to be left in – just incase he had any reactions….but he was fine.
This morning he had the canula removed and we got ready to go out – as today’s a ‘free day’. We arranged to go Downtown with Chad, Brandy & Spencer. Charlie (the driver) took us all down to Jimo Road Market & we had a mooch around or a couple of hours – it’s shopping heaven! Even Keith tried a bit of bartering. Then we went on to Polar Ocean World. We watched a dolphin display; which was fab. Then we had a look round at the rest of the animals that were there. Keiran thoroughly enjoyed watching the animals swim past him & all the lights reflecting off the water. It was nice to get out & spend sometime away from the hospital.
We are going to chill out tonight & then tomorrow is another ‘free day’ BUT I think it will be another day of scrubbing the bathroom as it absolutly reaks again!! Although, we have got hot water again – yeahhhhh!!
Missing everyone like mad, but we are nearly halfway through our stint out here.
Love to all
