I have decided to name today Cookie Day. Holly has been munching away on choc chip cookies for the last couple of hours. This will, no doubt, be replaced by something completely different tomorrow!
We are now firmly ensconced in ward C2 once again, for round 4 of chemo. This involves 24hrs of chemo and then 24hrs if hydration (see previous posts for the joys of hydration!). If all goes to plan we will hopefully be out out on Sunday evening.
The docs are pleased with Holly and how well she is during her treatment. They gave the go ahead for the chemo to start so we are off and running.
Mick (chef - last seen running for cover!) was delighted to see Holly once again and she was taking full advantage within hours of arriving on the ward.
To relieve the boredom, Holly has had an afternoon of arts and crafts that mums were not allowed to be party too. I decided to take advantage of the peace and quiet to watch the wonderful Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency on iplayer (tis a great invention that!).
Holly returned only to let slip within 30secs what they had been doing. The nurses burst out laughing because I had only just told them how rubbish Holly was at keeping secrets!
I can't wait to see what Sunday brings.
Its been a very busy week and I think it finally caught up with Holly. She fell into a very deep sleep about 5.30pm and didn't even wake when the nurse was checking her temperature. She is very much awake now however and is chatting on msn.
It has been lovely to catch up with the other mums but, once again, very sad to see lots of new faces attempting to come to terms with finding themselves on ward C2.

Nice to read your post and know that you and Holly are getting on well with this round of treatment (and hopefully not in G bay tee hee).
ReplyDeleteGabe has been much better today and went to the day unit for a check up with Daddy - we are back in on Tuesday. I had a day with Immy which was lovely and I am feeling much stronger. i have come to the conclusion that it is hard not being around other cancer mums who totally understand what we are going through.
Give that gorgeous girl a great big hug from the Davies 4 xx
Hi Holly and Kerry - Just managed to get access to your log, so will be keeping an eye on you both now. Take care of each other. Love to all. Jackie. xxx
