Drew spent the day with Kyle who doesn't return to school until tomorrow. They played footy outside and of course the playstation. Drew was hanging to go for a bike ride, but it was so windy and cold - the answer was no much to his disappointment. Drew received a Northern Territory flag, a crocodile tooth and shark's tooth in the mail, from his Auntie Di, who lives in Darwin. Anyone who knows Drew knows he loves sharks and flags - so he was rapt. Unfortunately, 24 hours after Drew's chemotherapy ended he needed to have his injection. A friend who lives nearby and is a nurse came over after work to do it, even though it is just into his skin and not into his muscle, I can't bring myself to do it and thank goodness she came. It took 50 minutes of coaxing and reasoning and finally threatening (a bit like Friday night) and in the end Peter and I had to hold him down whilst Robyn injected him - it wasn't pleasant for anyone, but 10 minutes later he had calmed himself down and was back to his happy self. Thanks Robyn, I don't know what we would have done without you.
