All Quiet on the Western Front (Day +3)

Happily there’s not a lot to report. After an uneventful night, the Max that we know and love decided to make an appearance today. He spent most of the day happily drawing pictures, doing puzzles, reading books and watching the telly. The day’s major drama revolved around trying to get him to sit in the bath. We are still concerned about the state of his skin around his backside and have been told that salt baths, twice a day, are the best way to accelerate the healing process. After much struggling and tears we finally were able to get him to immerse himself in the water. Great Success!

Thankyous to: 
Billy & Carly for your extremely thoughtful gifts. Max will wear his personalized singlet with pride.
Aunty Judith for your beautiful card.


Cheers,

Tim

  1. Hi Bee, Max and Tim,

    Quiet days are the best days in the transplant room. (Although how quiet can it really be with all those IV Pumps running and beeping) You'll want to chuck those IV poles out the window after this is all done :-)

    Glad to see Max "The Strong" is doing well. You are now almost 2 weeks into this and we're all praying for those stem cells to set up shop and start making those neutrophils. Keep up the good fight and better days are truly ahead of you and your family. Thoughts and prayers from the USA...
