A long chat this morning with Drew about why he had to have the eyedrops, didn't receive much response but when the time came around he was pretty good. Unfortunately, later in the morning just before his chemo was going to be hung for the day, he had a complete meltdown, I think 4.5 half months of treatment and not living his normal life, the thought of being vomiting and yet more eyedrops just caught up with and he lost it completely for about 10 minutes, then he jumped into bed and had a sleep. When he woke up he was fantastic, had his eyedrops no problem, and was actually worried about how he carried on, I just told him sometimes you just have to let it out. Nurse Jody awarded him a Bravery Award for how well he handled his eyedrops. Drew's brothers are coming up tonight and Dad and I will tag team for the weekend. Hopefully we are on top of the nausea and vomiting.
