Friday, 4 September 2009 - Day +25

All of yesterdays kerfuffle (not sure if that's spelt right?) got sorted out first thing in the morning, so that was good. Today was a big day drug wise. Drew was taken off 2 antibiotics and put on another one, as he has tested positive to a staph bug. He had his final dose of the drug with no name, he became sleepy again and his blood pressure started to rise, so they wanted him to take a tablet, which was about 1/3 the size of my little finger nail . Well Drew decided he wasn't having it, so 45 minutes later after much unsuccessful reasoning (are you reading this Jodie) I held him down and held his nose, while Renee (nurse) got the tiny tablet in - and his blood pressure went down. He also had his other antiviral drug x 3 each day, which should end on Saturday. A blood transfusion and a platelet transfusion were also in order + his GCSF and by the time all that finished it was time for his antiviral drug again - lucky they are all intravenous otherwise he would rattle. By dinnertime he was back to his happy self and the playstation. A visit from Aunty Trish in the morning was nice for Drew, as he hasn't had many visitors lately. Good Luck to his Budgie team mates tomorrow - we hope you win boys.
