Drew spent most of the day playing on the playstation as he will be in hospital all week, so I relented and let him spend a bit of time on it today. We headed up to John Hunter about half past 2. Drew was accessed and his blood tested to make sure it was ok to go ahead with this stage of treatment. All was good. His fluids were hooked up about 8 o'clock with double maintenance (which I think means twice as much fluid) being started at midnight, when we were both asleep. This is done to flush his kidneys in preparation for the chemotherapy Drew will start to receive tomorrow. Drew is just happy to be able to watch the cricket against South Africa live.
