Kal's chemo finished this morning and because he was doing so well he could be discharged.I was somewhat reluctant at first but he was still feeling well and he was as keen as mustard to get out of there.He needs an injection in the morning to help get his blood counts back up but it can be given by a nurse in clinic.The good thing is that it's a nurse appointment and it's always a much shorter wait than doctor's appointments.After discharge although very tired and lethargic he said he still felt pretty good.He had a little snooze when he got down and then just watched some tele.He did come out to the living area of the house to have a bit of a chat but retired to the room soon after.He had a shower and watched tele from bed and it wasn't long before he crashed.Although I'm so glad he's doing so well I'm still a little worried about the next few days as sometimes that's when it hits them the hardest.As long i keep up with his nausea meds for the next few days then that will give him the best chance of staying well.It means setting the alarm every 4hrs but I'm not taking any chances.We have a few appointments over the next few days but I wanted to wait a little while before coming home anyway just to make sure he's up to the trip home.
I did see a copy of the article that was in the Maitland Mercury of my famous little man.It's a great photo of him,among a lot of other really nice ones taken that day.
Next Thursday his star will rise a little further when channel 9 come to the hospital for a bandaged bear promotion.Julie has made sure that Kallan will be a feature and Steven Jacobs may even ask him a few questions.All going well after his TV appearance we'll be able to come straight home.I'm unsure as to when they'll want him back but I'm hoping for at least a week or so at home.But I'll take anything.

It must be a huge problem trying to fit in all the committments that a "star" has to deal with - oh well, I'm sure if anyone can do it, Kal can.
I think the girls ie Shaylie, Tegan and a few others are selling Bandaged Bear products today at school. They had to visit all the classrooms yesterday and tell all the kids about Bandaged Bear and what it was for - I think they felt very important. Good luck with it all girls.
It was good to hear Kal this morning sounding pretty good. I know he wasn't feeling all that well today and knowing how he feels about injections, I'm sure that wouldn't have been helping.
Here's hoping that we will all see you at your real home soon.
lots of love
