22nd November 2009 – Free Day
We went to the RT Mart today (never again on a Sunday – it was busy beyond belief) and brought some fresh meat, potatoes & vegetables. I’m not looking forward to trying to cook it in the the kitchen but I’m certainly looking forward to eating it!
Tonight we went to Pizza Hut. They have an amazing choice of foods on the menu. Keiran ordered the chicken curry with spaghetti & Keith and I had pizza. Keith’s never been to Pizza Hut in England as he’s not keen on Pizza’s – it’s strange to think that his first experience in Pzza Hut is here in China! Unfortunately, Keiran’s curry & spaghetti didn’t come BUT he munched away on plenty of pizza & fried squid. Then we headed back to the hospital.
Sunday is a day when I have so much buzzing around in my head as we are given Keiran’s schedule for the coming week & then reality hits me. Back to my same thoughts…………are we doing the right thing, am I asking the Dr’s the right questions, why didn’t I take Mandarin lessons before we came, will Keiran look back & regret coming out, will Georgia & Maddie resent us from being away from home? The list of questions & thoughts just bounce around in my head & some days I feel like it’s going to explode! Our lives have been one hell of a roller coaster ride for the past 9 months & will continue to be so.
I wish I could report some improvement so far, but as off yet there is none. However, we need to stay positive & hope that this will come with time. His next stemcell day is Wednesday & he will receive these via Lumbar. He’s not worried about it but it just makes me feel sick in my stomach to see my baby boy go through it, but he smiles & it melts my heart as to how well he is coping with being in a foreign country and taking everything on the chin! I’m so very proud of him – he really is a superstar!! Just wish I could be the same.
Missing you all
