Lewis had his Vincristine and Doxorubicin chemo yesterday at Piam Brown ward, after he wanted a cheese burger from the Burger King inside the hospital. We got home at 5pm in time to feed him again. As normal the battle to give the medication took place.

Today Lewis has had a day off school to recover, he is Zonked out.


We have just started to lower his Steroids so we hope he will start to come back to normal soon as the food bills are massive. The Steroids make him eat a lot more than normal, Last night he had chicken curry at 9-30pm and made it through to the morning without eating again. He is on about 5 meals a day.

He has mood swings and is like Jekyll and Hyde one minute he wants to kill you and the next he wants cuddles. Don't cross some one on steroids you never know what one of them you will get.

Lewis has a bit of a cough so we hope it doesn't hang around. His bloods were OK yesterday except platletts were slightly low and his temperature is OK so fingers crossed.
