So now, I don't need anyone to use purple gloves to clean up after me!
Everyone can kiss me again - and I can kiss them!
No more purple gloves!! It's been a week since my last chemo, so I'm no longer cytotoxic. (The chemotherapy makes me toxic to anyone who touches my drool, spew, poo or sneeze-stuff!) So now, I don't need anyone to use purple gloves to clean up after me! Everyone can kiss me again - and I can kiss them! I don't know what the fuss was about last night. I've been feeling well and cheeky all day! I'm eating more and getting more strength back, so I don't really understand why mum was so tired! I've felt really yuck all afternoon and did some big vomits in the car and at home. So just to be sure, we are now at hospital, waiting for my blood results to come back.... Going home now, stopped vomiting, ate, kicked and flirted with the nurses! Blood and platelets ok for now. I had a bit of a yuck day today, but loved it when my aunts and the kids came to visit. I ate my dinner. I still like custards and jellies because of my throat sores. I drank my milk - Mum knows she has to put ovaltine in it for me (But, I think she's putting less and less ovaltine in each day... ) This is what happens when mum and aunty Carol get tired together! We had to celebrate my bald head before my hair started coming back! The rainbow has always been our silver lining. I liked the feeling of the paintbrush against my bald head. I had a good day today. I'm eating more and being cheeky! I felt a bit yuck today, but chocolate always seems to help! I saw my little sister on the screen today. Mum had an ultrasound. I didn't like it! Mum's a bit scared... I came home at 4 months weighing 3.5kg, My baby still has 7 weeks to grow and is already 2.5kg! This one was a facebook celebrations. Dexter's 'friends' were asked to share the end-of-chemo celebration by posting food pictures. This is what they did: Ok....mum has been set lots of challenges to fill in her time while I'm going through chemo. Some of them have been easy, some hard and sometimes her brain has been too tired! SO, I have a challenge for everyone who has been following my journey. Tomorrow should be my last day of chemo ever, so we need to celebrate. I love food. So I want you to post a photo of the best type of celebratory food you can think of! Maybe if I'm lucky, mum and my aunties might let me have some! #3 I'm sure you'll get lots of yummy treats this afternoon /tonight so I say make sure you get pancakes in bed tomorrow morning!! Pancakes are delicious and with fruit are nutritious hahah who cares but with ice cream they cover everything :) Plus the best bit - tomorrow you'll be waking up in your own bed again!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!(AM) #4 For after dinner tonight! You are such a strong little man! #5 Nyah is loving this challenge Dexter you'd better get home quick or there'll be none of the celebratory food left for you! Getting some party food ready for you Little Man! #12 This is one of my favourite sweet indulgences - a tasting plate full of all kind of yummy's... Maybe one day mum will let you come on to a mummy's dinner and we can share one? :0) (Sally) Yay Dex, you been such a brave and patient boy you deserve all of these... and I couldn't decide xoxo (Shannon) "End of Chemo Cake" - raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake. Make one and 'celebrate' with us tomorrow afternoon! Dessert at my coming home party! I'm tired, though and feel a little sick, but I was very glad to be back home and to get cuddles again. |
