Day 8 Standard Delayed Intensification……

Thursday 24^th March was Day 8 of SDI and was also able to be done in Hastings Hospital.

At 8:30am we had to put some numbing cream on Toby’s Port site - what a MISSION!!!!  I had to get Bevan to stay home from work for a bit so that he could help me hold Toby down and all it was, was a bit of cold cream going on his skin!!!!!!  He is terrified of his Port being accessed and now even hates it when I take his top off to change him into something else, poor thing.

Once that was done it was over to Hastings where his Port was accessed (more heart wrenching screaming and holding down) and then Toby was given his Chemo (Vincristine and Doxorubicin).  It all went well and we had a lovely morning watching Toy Story 3 and Thomas the Tank Engine DVD’s, painting, playing with playdough, reading books and playing with the Thomas trains.
