Heading off to hospital

They have found us a bed for tonight (Monday 1st November) on Camperdown Ward, which is as good as it gets (although later than scheduled). I won't be taking my laptop as its a pipe dream thinking I have time to so much as turn it on and its just more things to carry so I will update when I get home.

Our plan for Oscar has been to double his dosage of anti-viral medication leading up to this next treatment in the hope it might stop the herpes from coming back in his mouth and maybe reduce the extent of his mucousitis. The Dr's don't think it will work but it is worth a try. I really hope it does because getting 21 syringes of medication into him daily hasn't been easy and he deserves some reward (not that we always get what we deserve). So we are hopeful and know we have done all we can.

Please send us some positivity to keep the momentum going, to stay sane in the insanity that is hospital and amidst so much sleep deprivation. We want to bring Oscar home and keep him out of pain and out of hospital until the next treatment. Fingers and toes crossed.
