Catherine is really enjoying her new pink portable DVD player. She spent some time experimenting with the control panel, volume control and the on/off switch until she knew what she was doing. She now excitedly uses it herself. I think she also likes the fact that if we are cooking in the kitchen, she can come and sit up the table with her DVD player rather than being on her own in the living room. Just before bed, she put on her Nursery Rhymes video and sang along to all the songs. It was great to hear her sing and she really enjoyed it.
She had some more bloods taken today and was still nervous. She had a different community nurse today as her usual nurse was on holiday. This was more difficult for her as she has built up a good rapport with her usual nurse.
Otherwise, Catherine has had a good day despite her cold. She hasn't felt unwell today. By this evening she had become much brighter again and spent ages chatting to me about going on trains and going to the seaside. She is still on her oral chemotherapy and has one more lumbar puncture on Thursday so that the hospital can administer some more chemotherapy directly into the spinal fluid. After Thursday, we start on the next part of the treatment plan.
