Well the chemo has started and the countdown has begun to Hollys stem cell transplant next week. Holly had a good night, albeit slightly marred by a very snory lady in the next bed (it was just like being at home). The morning was spent at school doing maths and english. Even though she pretends not to like it I think Holly actually enjoys it now. It helps the time pass and keeps her brain active.
Holly has had 3 hours of hydration and then the chemo started. It will run throughout the week in various combinations. We have a record 4 pumps running at once due to all the different drugs. She felt a bit sick for an hour this evening but her new anti-sickness meds seem to be working and she is currently feeling ok.
We are now in our new home for the transplant. It is a special room which has purified air, extra care is needed to keep out bugs when Hollys levels drop. Holly has decorated it and it now looks like a tatty teddy/fairy grotto. The photos of home are lovely but make me very homesick. I am missing the Little Ones and Ben very much but I have to be here and it will all be worth it in the long run.
