6th Stemcells Treatment received yesterday!!
December 1st, 2009
Keiran received his 6th treatment yesterday; which should have been his last one BUT we’ve booked an extra 2 which he will receive the rest of this week.
The nurses came to do his canula and unfortunately it was a case of 2nd time lucky. Bless him……….he didn’t moan & the nurses kept apologising & I feel that he must think he’s some kind of pin cushion!! At 1.30pm they took him upto the IV room but he only went up with Keith this time as I’ve come down with a cold & sore throat. It was horrible not being able to go up with him & even worse as I’m trying to keep my distance so he doesn’t end up catching anything. Keith was threatening to send me to a Hotel 
which I wasn’t having any of!!! I settled for a course of Accupuncture from Forest. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to fight off a cold!! Together with Sudofed, I’m feeling much better today.
Forest is such a kind, lovely man. He really treats Keiran as an individual & not just a patient. Keiran was not scheduled to have afternoon therapy yesterday BUT he came along after lunch and asked if Keiran would like to have his massage & fire cups. Of course Keiran jumped at the chance! I wish I could bring him home with me………
Keiran was in hysterics when he was receiving his massage; as a nurse came in and asked him ‘have you moved your stools?’ To which he replied ‘no! But I moved a table & 2 chairs’…..LOL……..the nurses & Dr’s don’t really get his humour but it really did tickle him for about 10minutes!!
Tomorrow (2nd Dec) Keiran will be getting his 7th treatment via IV. He’s still not overly happy with the fact of keeping his canula in overnight but he knows that as soon as he wakes up we grab a nurse & ask them to take it out.
Keiran started his advent calendar today; so we are well & truly on countdown now until our China journey comes to an end. We are soooo looking forward to coming home.

Hey! Glad your feeling better H and keep up the good work young man!! If you have a spare few kilos in your luggage it would be a good idea to bring Forest home – i could do with a nice massage (on a daily basis) !!!
Take Care and keep up the good work
Lots of love x x x x

Hello
Forest sounds great but over the weeks i have had an image of Tom Hanks in a checkered shirt and chinos massaging Kieran saying “Stem cells are like a box of chocolates you never know what your going get! ”
Ha ha
See you soon
Matt

haha – well I must say I can just picture Kerian chuckling away about his reply to the nurses and I can’t wait to tell Uncle John about it tonight as it will tickle him also – well made me smile
Glad yr feeling much better H as I can imagine it is bad enough feel ill at the best of times, without not being able to be near Keiran properly.
Well done to you all and we are all on countdown now and it is surreal to say “this time next week you will be home” yeahhhh xXx
Luv to you all and will try extremely hard to catch you on line at the weekend.
Good luck with the rest of the treatment and tell Keiran we are all so very proud of him and can’t wait to see you all xXx
