Treatment Day – 4th Stem Cells are in!!
November 25th, 2009
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

Glad things are still going well for Keiran, he takes it all in his stride! The main good thing is that he is eating so well. Only one and a half weeks to go now. I like the bit when Keiran told you to shut up, and it sounds like he still has his good sense of humour, and for you Hayley, it will be worth it all in the end. Look forward to your next posting.
Love Alison and all the family xx

It goes without saying, that once again, we are all very proud of how Keiran is coping with all his treatment.
Well done darling and also well done to mum and dad as, like you say, it is mentally exhausting/draining watching Keiran go through all his treatments.
Sounds like he has a good rapoor with Forest and enjoys the fire cup therapy bless him – a little relaxing treatment in the midst of it all goes down a treat.
Look forward to all your updates and can’t wait to speak to you again soon.
Luv to you all – and well done xXx
