Treatment #7 via IV & today!!!
August 24th, 2010
Yesterday I had therapy and then had my cannula fitted – which went in first time by nurse Lucy. Had some lunch
; mum made me a ham omelette. My IV was at 3.30pm. After I received my stemcells we chilled out in the room before cooking dinner. We had Chilli Con Carne & rice which tasted delicious. Mum asked the nurse to take out my cannula before I got into bed.
Today the nurse woke me up at 6.30am to take my bloods – what a nightmare wake up call that was!!!!! They are checking my thyroid & growth hormone levels. I had McDonald’s breakfast which tastes just like home. Mum went downtown to the Jimmo Market & I got some ‘Boytime’ with Joe & Jaden for a few hours. We had chinese for lunch and it was good to have a break from Mum for a little while (I did say by day 20+ I’d be fed up with her). I am ready to come home now………I feel like Spencer last time around…….4 weeks is too long to be away from home. I had afternoon therapy with Forrest & then Mum came back, spoke to home and then Mum took me to Pizsa Hut. I had a massive popcorn pizza & starters………I couldn’t eat half of it and had to bring some back to the hospital with me!!
Got a taxi back as the it’s raining quite hard today and the puddles are huge out here so I had to wear trainers for the first time (instead of crocs).
We are chilling out in our room at the moment but think it’s going to be an earlyish nite as I’m a bit tired due to being woken up early to have my blood tests done.
Love Keiran xxxx

Awesome Keiran one more to go, you can do it!!!! Glad you got a little time away from mom & didn’t have to go down to Jimmo again, I can only imagine what that smells like in the summer time! Sounds like you guys have it all figured out this time though, eating like kings! Hope they have better pots & pans for mom to cook with this go round. Spencer loves to look at the picture of you & mom laying on the bed together. We have to look at it almost everyday, he is very happy that it is you back in China and not him! Take care, only a few more days left!! We’ll be thinking of you

Keiran,
I am not sure if you remember me but I used to work with Stacey and helped raise some money for you prior to your first visit with the boys from Istead Colts FC doing a blindfold penalty shootout. I also had the pleaseure of meeting you at the dinner dance at Bearstead Golf course.
I am writing this to wish you all the best for your last few days in China. I have read all the messages you and your Mum have put on here and I am amazed how strong you and your Mum are coping with everything and supporting each other. You are a fantastic young man and I have great admiration for you. Keep smiling and hope the last few days go quickly. Have a safe journey home.
Dave
