Faith

This morning we had to go and collect Catherine from nursery because she had been sick. We monitored her at home, but pleasingly she was cheerful and happy and bouncing around again in no time. We think that she didn't eat enough breakfast this morning, and when she took her medicines, they didn't have a very good effect on an empty-ish stomach. It wasn't her chemotherapy medicine, but her 'banana medicine' (which prevents chest infections). She calls this medicine banana medicine because, logically, it tastes of bananas. Not to be confused with her 'banana spray' which smells of bananas and is used to spray her portacath before she has her bloods taken.

Out of all the medicines she has had so far, Catherine says her favourite medicine is the banana medicine followed by the one that tastes like melon. The 'orange medicine' is tolerable because she has it whilst she is half asleep, but her least favourite is the 'lemony medicine'. She says it is 'all fizzily on her tongue'.

She really enjoyed the rest of the day. Tonight she was complaining of a bit of earache, but she said 'I will sleep with my earache and it will be better in the morning!'. There's faith for you!
