Mr. T. is doing much better. He's been eating for the past few days! He's gained 1 lb..and his appetite is coming back. He is now eating cereal for breakfast with fruit....but I have to order his lunch and supper. He refuses to eat the hospital food or freezer meals.
Last night his sister came for the weekend. He was happy to see her....he gave her a stuffed white shi-tzu for graduation (that he received as a gift from the playroom)...she has wanted a real one for the longest time...but that will have to wait a year after his Bone Marrow Transplant. She loves it...she slept with it last night and today she's carrying it around with her. When Mr. T went to the computer she rushed and got clean sheets, pillow slips and made his bed fresh for him. Right now she is in the playroom, working on some project for her brother. You can see she misses him terribly.
It's too bad Mr. T can't get a day pass! Today from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m....the Thrillusionists (a magic show) will put on a magic show for the families at Ronald Mcdonald house....as well, Jason Spezza of the Ottawa Senators will be there.........and 3 chefs from Boston Pizza will prepare the snacks and the supper for all the residents. Yes I will take pics....and get an autograph from Jason Spezza for T. & for other kids on the unit who are neutro-penic....and I'll bring him back some pizza as well.
We are very patiently waiting for his counts to come up. The doctor told us anyday now!
Mr. T is usually always in a good mood. But Thursday he was feeling really down. Nothing I could say or do could change that! The nurses even tried to boost his spirits but he was having none of it.
Then....one of his buddies....Brianna called him and they talked for awhile and suddenly he was back to his old self again. It was great hearing him laugh about his friends latest exploits. I know it involved spitballs!
As soon as his counts come up a bit...I am trying to get other boys his age come into his room to play games...as he has 2 controller's...and I'll tactfully disappear.
Kids.....sorry..'Teens' need to be alone (hang or is it chill) with their peers once in awhile to feel normal without their Nanny around.
I'm going to be multi-lingual when I finally get home. I'm learning computer jargon, medical jargon, & teen talk. So far...teen talk is the toughest....as it changes 'radically dude'!
