The first administration of chemo was a very emotional moment for all of us. It feels so wrong, thinking to make him sick so he’ll get better goes against every instinct. But the first two days went as well as they could. So far, he tolerates the drugs well. I strongly believe that’s because of all the amazing positive vibes, thoughts, and prayers coming his way, so please keep those up! 🙏
He’s not amused by treatment procedures, hates coming to the hospital, and being attached to the machine. After they clip him in he breaks down and screams, “I don’t want the medicine, Mama!!” We totally get his anger, sadness, and frustration and are glad he expresses them openly. And to be honest, we’d like to scream with him.
He's a champion! Tonight he took off his own shirt and didn’t cry seeing the Hickman line. He let us wipe his tummy with a wet cloth briefly before getting nervous. Huge win! 🌈
His right leg is extremely painful, and since Sunday, he doesn’t want to walk at all. We’re working on finding the cause.
Thank you for all the generosity and creativity towards him: 💕
Our daycare recorded some lovely song videos for him to sing along.
Be sure to get a ticket to the fundraiser movie night on the 12th that Hannah, Chloe & team are organising in Welly.
Andrew continues to support us with heartfelt videos.
We’re constantly amazed by all the kindness and love from family, friends, neighbors, and even people we haven’t met. ❤️
