Boring is good....

Apr 4 - 15, 2013

I figure the fewer posts I do from now on, the better.

Round 2 of Interim Maintenance was a tad boring....which is good.

Mitch pretty much stops eating when he goes into hospital, so loses any weight he puts on when he's home, but his spirits were generally high for the 6 days he was in this time.
An interesting rash is about as exciting as it got medically this time.

Six long days of lying in bed connected to bags of various concoctions.  First a good flush that results in lots of peeing.  Then a slow bag of toxins, followed by more flushing with saline and 'antiserum'.....and lots of peeing - day and night.  Mitch definitely doesn't suffer from a shy bladder.  He can pretty much pee in front of anyone...and does.

Lots of visits again from nurses, doctors, social workers, play therapists, art therapists, teachers, Clown Doctors, etc., etc.  Challenge also visited and offered some footy tickets for the Tigers - Doggies clash; bonus!  They also offered Mitch an opportunity to "run" onto the ground with the Tigers before their match against Collingwood at the 'G' the following weekend, so (if all goes according to plan) keep your eyes out if you are watching the game and you might see him on telly.

School term 2 has started well.  Two out of two days so far and looking good up until Friday when we have a blood test and doctors appointment in at RCH in preparation for Round 3, which is slightly delayed to accommodate our appointment at the MCG on Saturday. 
Go Tiges!
