Drew had his heart scan early this morning which showed no changes to his heart. He went up to theatre early today for his bone marrow and triple intrethecal methatrexate, and was his usual chirpy self, its like he has happy gas before he goes up there, he's bouncing off the walls that much. Drew woke up nicely as well, but was a bit sick from the anaesthetic today, only the second time that has happened, but today was the worst. Chemotherapy (high dose methatrexate) started at 12.30pm and by mid afternoon Drew's nausea had gone and his appetite was returning. He managed a bit of school work tonight at his own request. Unfortunately, Drew's blood sugar levels were high and he had to have a finger prick test and another during the night - his aversion to needles now extends to all of them, so again it was another two battles, but it was done and over with relatively quickly. The only other 'exciting' thing to happen tonight, was my mobile phone falling in the toilet when I flushed and it is now 'flushed away'.
