First day, round two

Everything is going ok. We have a different room which is quite nice (space for a larger play area than last time) but in a different hallway than the kitchen which will make it virtually impossible to use the kitchen while Malcolm is hooked up and I'm here by myself. I may have Jan smuggle in a tea kettle for me - we are not supposed to bring in any appliances to the room (so if you work at the IWK, please pretend you did not read this...) but it would be nice to be able to make a hot cup of tea in the mornings.

Malcolm was very sore from the bone marrow procedure. Apparently it was difficult to draw out the marrow today. This does not mean anything in terms of the marrow's health but the doctor had to "dig around" to be able to draw out enough so that is likely why his hip is sore. He had trouble getting to sleep and we sat in the rocking chair for quite a while but he is peaceful now and, fingers crossed, will remain that way for the rest of the night. We will have the bone marrow results sometime tomorrow but expect everything to look fine.
