Sunday, 6 September 2009 - Fathers Day - Day +27

Drew woke up when the boys and I arrived at 8.00am with pancakes for breakfast. Dad had been up since 6.00am, so no Father's Day sleep in for him - must be that comfortable bed (I think I'm used to it now :O). Breakfast was eaten, presents given, a bit of WII before the boys headed off at 9.30am for Kyle's second leg of his semi-final, which they unfortunately lost 3 - 1. Drew's blood count dropped for the 2nd day in a row, this isn't the first time this has happened. The Drs believe because he had RSV (a cold), the medication to treat that and now another infection in his line, is why his count isn't rising. He does appear to have a GVHD (graft versus host disease) rash, which is a good sign - the Drs aren't worried about him so that's good. Drew also had a platelet and blood transfusion today. There is now a gastro infection on the ward, so Drew and I will be staying bunkered down in our room (no change for Drew) to try and avoid that one.
