Day 5 Standard Delayed Intensification……

Monday 21^st March was Day 5 of SDI and was able to be done in Hasting Hospital.   The day started with a finger prick blood test for Toby and when the results came back to show his bloods were ok, it was time for the dreaded Peg-Asparaginase injection (or Peg for short).  This is a nasty injection given straight into the thigh muscle and from Toby’s reaction to the last one he had right back when he was first diagnosed - it hurts like hell :(

He didn’t like it very much at all, but he got over it with the help of a cuddle from Mummy and some distraction from the Nurses and Racheal the Play Therapist.
