Yay Andrew

Day 1 of radiation and ATG . Andrew seems to have had no side effects what so ever. They expect headaches, fever, shakes etc. etc. but he felt fine and no fevers. He hasn't slept much so a bit tired but doing well. It is only his second day and already the nurses are fighting to get him as one of their patients for the shift! He is a wonderful patient - very positive and cooperative etc. He told me on the phone that he has been having a bit of a walk around the room today - although he is tethered to his IV so has to take all his equipment with him so doesn't go far. Last night he had trouble sleeping due to running legs syndrome (which he is a bit prone to).  Grant (who has been so patient waiting to do his bit) and I are just going out to visit him now. Grant has been here for a month and has to be here for 2 more weeks. I'm sure he is missing his family (and visa versa). It is a long time to be hanging around. He said work has been pretty understanding, lets hope they too can hang on patiently for another couple of weeks. Will report again soon, hope Andrew continues to tolerate the treatment as well as he has so far.
