I Love Hydration!

Well it looks like all my finger crossing has worked and Holly hasn't been sick so far on this chemo. She spent last night and today on the 24hr hydration which follows chemo, this basically is supposed to clear the drugs from her system as quick as possible by making her wee loads. This is fine during the day but can be quite hard work at night (the wee has to be collected and weighed!). However the nurses suggested a commode at the bottom of her bed and this has been a godsend, enabling me to get more than an hours sleep at a time!

The doctors were very pleased with Holly, remarking how well she was looking and how well she was tolerating the treatment.

Holly was delighted (haha) to see the teacher arrive to let her know school was to start at 1030am. She had a lovely hour of literacy and the teacher was very impressed. Holly now firmly believes that school should be limited to an hour every day, she will get a shock when she goes back!

Holly had a quiet afternoon resting (she also felt a bit sick) but has perked up considerably now, and has had the lovely Mick (ward C2's resident chef) making her 2 dinners (both of which have been eaten). As I type she is currently chatting to 7 friends on Msn.

Chemo started again from 5.30pm to 9.30pm and then the dreaded hydration starts for 24hrs. This is due to finish tomorrow night so it looks like we will be home on Friday morning.

Apparantly Izzy and Harry have been behaving very well (thanks Nanna) without me. Izzy has managed to wrap Daddy round her little finger, and has acquired the much desired Peppa Pig spaceship which caused a massive tantrum in Boots at the weekend. I am missing them all loads.
