Treatment Day – 4th Stem Cells are in!!
Today has been a mentally exhasting day for us all. Today felt like it was going so low; it was just dreading 3.30pm for Keiran to recieve his 4th course of stemcells via Lumbar. Although, it was lovely to spend some time with Michelle, Beth, Mandy, Ricky & lil’ Summer; having coffee in the common area as it helped time to pass by a little quicker & they are all such wonderful people. Keiran enjoyed telling them his jokes and it was nice to hear laughter & see smiles on people’s faces.
Keiran was not due to see Forest this afternoon BUT Forest offered to come after lunch (homemade spag bol) and give him a massage & fire cups to help relax him before his spinal. We are all very grateful to him; Keiran really enjoys his afternoon sessions with Forest
Unfortunately, the canula didn’t go in on the first attempt (again), so it was 2nd time lucky. Keiran was taken up to the room at 3.15pm and back in his room 35mins later. Then it was the next hurdle………………………..Keiran lying flat on his back for 6 hours. Which I must admit he done fantastically!!!!! After 4 hours of me nagging him about if he’s got any pains, feels sick, headache etc; he told me to ‘shut up & he’ll tell me if he’s got a problem’. That was me told LOL!
He’s had some pizza, drink & a long huge hug from me & now it’s time for him to get some sleep. Even though he says he doesn’t feel tired!!! As for me I’m shattered – treatment days tend to drain me BUT I won’t rest well tonight & I think tomorrow will be an early night for us all.
Love to all
