Malcolm seems to have transitioned into the hospital without much trouble. The photos show him playing with Donovan in the playroom, climbing the slide in his room and a couple of other photos of his room. He seems to feel quite well though his energy is a bit lower than usual. They have supervised hours in the playroom each day and he has been fine with me leaving him there for an hour or so. Donovan loves visiting and we have found several activities for him in the playroom and outside in the playgarden. Malcolm really lights up and laughs a lot when Donovan comes too visit.
We have only one more day of chemo - it should be ended sometime tomorrow afternoon. Then hopefully he can be disconnected from the IV line when awake. They will continue to give him extra fluids through his line while he is sleeping for at least a few days to ensure the drugs get flushed from his system.

That's great he's got a slide in his room!
ReplyDeleteWe are all sick here and so sorry not to have been able to stick to our plans this week - but hopefully will be better next weekend. We'd love to take Donovan out for an adventure.
Hopefully they will have been able to disconnect the line today then? I imagine that will make things a great deal easier - especially now he's starting to walk!
Thinking of you all,
Alice
