lisa I did think it may be because I'm run down - I've felt a bit off colour all week and put it down to that, but this morning I woke up with itchy ears (my guaranteed first sign of a cold), a bunged up nose and sneezing. It seems to have cleared away now though, thank goodness.
Staying away from hospital just in case, but they have said I can go on the ward if I want to, they just wouldn't advise it.
DH reports that DS is having his first blood transfusion this afternoon. If you donate, my heartfelt thanks to you.
I know the nose tube will be a good thing in the long run, it's just that we were hoping that we would be much further down the chemo route before it became necessary. Up until now he hasn't really looked that sick so we are really only just coming to terms with how poorly he really is.
I so desperately wish I could make him better.
On the plus side, the antibiotics seem to be helping and his temperature has stayed down today of it's own accord.
DD is still hotter than the sun and refusing to eat, but I can cope with normal childhood poorliness. It's having them both sick, not being able to be with them both that I am really struggling with. And being so helpless with DS. I'm his mum. He thinks that I can fix any problem in the world for him. I should be able to.
