Thursday 5 March

Kyle, Kurt, Dane, Mum and Dad had their blood taken today to see if any of us are a match for Drew's bone marrow transplant. The boys were all very brave. Today they all made chocolate muffins in Drew's room and iced them later in the day. There were a few lucky Nurses and one lucky Doctor, but unfortunately Dr Frank was too late and missed out. Dr Frank went into a little more detail about Drew today and his intensive chemo treatment, it sounds horrible but we are in good hands. Frank also told us he saw one of his patient's today who is 21 and who had 2 bone marrow transplants and his now going to TAFE, that will be my light at the end of the tunnel. The boys also got to play Shaun's electric keyboards and bongo drums today - it was so loud you could hear it at the desk and Drew was in the 2nd last room away from the desk. The boys all had a good time. We also saw the lovely Dr Helen, which is always a highlight of the day. Drew also had a visit from Vannessa, Spud, Ali & Todd this afternoon. His methotrexate levels had fallen sufficiently that we were allowed to go home at 5.30pm.
