Today was another day of improvement for Kallan but it was also an emotional day for him.He woke this morning feeling quite well but still very tired and lethargic.At this stage he is handling things better than expected as we thought he would still feel nausious for a few days yet as this is what has happened on previous occasions with these drugs.Fingers crossed he can maintain it.Although feeling physically better he was a little down emotionally.He misses all his family a lot and even said he misses his little sister.He had his dressings changed today also which he found to be quite painful.A lot of it i think was due to his mental state at the time.He's never found it that painful before but it was all a little too much for him today.
As mentioned earlier physically he's coping very well.He's drinking and has even had an iced chocolate and tried some biscuits.When on these drugs previously he couldn't even look at food or smell it without gagging so to see him try things is very encouraging.I'll keep up the anti nausia meds which should(touch wood)keep him from feeling sick.

It sounds like things are getting better despite a rotten few days to start with Kal. Shay is having a sleepover with Sas tonight. She was going to ring tonight but got busy in the pool and the time flew and now she thinks it's too late to ring at 10pm. She said you'll be in bed. She'll give you a ring in the morning. We look forward to getting you in the pool again Kal. You're a trooper Kal, I'm sure I'd be an absolute blithering mess going through what you have. It's great to hear you can stomach the thought of food. It sounds like you're well on the mend for this round. Thinking of you and Dad and Mum. Love Karen, Mark, Isaac & Saskia. XXXX
