Treatment #4 via Lumbar
August 13th, 2010
It was an early start to the day. Keiran had his bloods taken at 6.30am……..not a time that we are used to seeing!!! Therapies as usual at 8.30am
Keiran had his cannula fitted in the morning (2nd attempt) and then it was up for stemcells at 3.30pm. I can honestly say that 20mins stood outside those doors doesn’t get any easier and the feeling in my stomach just doesn’t go away!!! Keiran said that the when the Valium was administered through his IV this time around hurt and gave him discomfort in his hand BUT that it didn’t last long. He’s a trooper again!!! No complaints; not even when he was lying down for 6 hours. He stuffed his Pizza, plenty of cuddles and then time to go to sleep.
He’s sparko…………………and I’m not far behind him. I’m shattered; both mentally & physically!!!! Although, I know I won’t sleep too well again tonite!!!
We are going to the Holiday Inn for lunch tomorrow as 2 of the families are heading home on Sunday. It will be even quieter without them around. Sunday, we are going to head out & do a bit of sight seeing as we really need to get out of the hospital and look at some different scenery.
Thank you for everyone’s encouragement. It means the world to me & it’s helping us get through are stay here in China. Woooooohooooooo, we are half way through treatment now!!!!! Just over 2 wks time we will be on our way home!!
Lots of Love
Hayley xxxx

Hey Hayley, I didnt realise what you are going through with your son and I want to wish you all the support in the world. I wish I could help more and I bet others do too but right now there isnt much I can do but send all our love.
I hope you dont mind but I asked Adele what was happening and she told me, she sent me this link.
Anyway, good luck and keep strong.Not sure what else to say that u prob havent already heard but lots of love, keep safe and well out there
