Today we had an appointment at the hospital for a PICC dressing and a blood review for TJ. While we were there, we were approached by the Social worker who kindly gave us some gift cards that were passed on from the Redkite organisation. I am absolutely blown away by the generosity of organisations such as this (And in essence, the people that help support these organisations through donations.) These gift cards will go a long way in helping to alleviate some of the financial stress that we have gained due to TJ’s cancer diagnosis. If you have ever wondered if your donations are actually getting used wisely/appropriately then I can confidently say to you YES! and people like us, really really appreciate it. Not only are donations used in helping to find a cure but they also help to make lives of those who have been touched by cancer, that little bit more easier. And on that note.. I’d like to say a HUGE thank you to those of you who donate and to all the organisations/partners/sponsors that play an important part in making a difference. Now for an update on TJ-
TJ’s blood counts were low today but that was to be expected due to his last chemo cycle. Thankfully they weren’t low enough that he needed a platelet or blood transfusion. We also received an update of what we have on the agenda in the next few weeks. Basically we will be living at the hospital for awhile. :p This is TJ’s schedule for next week:
This will all be followed up with a final scan before moving on to radiation. It all seems a bit overwhelming but we’ve got the ‘put one foot in front of the other’ routine down pat now and TJ is taking it all in his stride which is great!
