24th November – Saying Goodbye & Lumbar tomorrow :(
Today Keiran was woken by the nurse at 7.20am to have his bloods taken to check his growth hormone level. So it was time to get up, breakfast & then the usual wake up call from Forest with electric wave therapy (with several games of dominoes – 6-1 to Keiran), ear point & accupuncture. As always, Keiran just gets on with it and does as he’s told. We had Dr Apple come round with a Professor from downtown & they were trying to access Keiran’s vision.
Keiran really loves the afternoon therapies. He really does look forward to Forest knocking on the door & he quite happily chats away to Forest as he’s having his massage. Firecups; it’s amazing to see just how relaxed Keiran is………….it’s definitley worth it. The smile on his face just melts my heart.
This afternoon we had to say goodbye to Pam, Dave & Sam………we wish them well & really hope that Sam continues to show improvement. It’ll be quiet without those guys!!!!
Also this afternoon we had a chat with Jon from Beike H/O (we spoke with him & Matt late last week). He spoke to us with regard to any concerns we’ve had with our room etc since we arrived. They have taken our comments onboard and have tried to rectify the smell in the bathroom by resealing the sink twice but it didn’t work. We’ve had someone put something in the drain cover and have now got 3x airfreshners on the go, plus a candle. Fingers crossed it might do the job (I’m not so sure….but trying to stay positive)!!!
This evening we went to the Holiday Inn to say goodbye to more great people. Our best wishes go out to Eric, Boudelle, Emelie & Victoria & also to Chris, Wendy & Michaela……..we wish you every success & happiness with the future. It’s been a pleasure to meet you all.
Now it’s back to the hospital room & thinking of tomorrow. Another day of pure anxiety, worry & fear. My beautiful son; not a care in the world; me it makes me sick in my stomach and an aching in my heart just thinking about tomorrow’s treatment……….. BUT…………… his strength just ozzes out & I need to grab onto it. He’s one tough cookie!!! He will be receiving his fourth treatment – 2nd one by Lumbar. Will let you know how it goes tomorrow.
Thanks for all your support, even though we are miles apart; I’m always thinking of home. Love you guys.
