Today was one of those days, I changed Drew's hospital appointment from 8.00am to watch big brother play school soccer (they lost, we won't mention the score). We arrived at 11.30 and Drew didn't receive his injection until 1.40pm. Because he had a reaction to L-Asparaginase previously he now had to have P-Asparaginase which comes packaged totally differently, so while we were waiting for it to be brought down, it actually already had been, just nobody recognised it. Drew started off well with his breathing, but unfortunately when the time came to inject it he couldn't bring himself to allow it to be done, so it was another hold down, screaming effort. Drew did a nice relaxation session with Ronnie the Play Therapist afterwards. The good thing about P-Asparginase is he only has to have 1 injection per block, instead of 4. I think we are both relieved about that.
