Steroid sadness :(

Catherine has been pretty good until she started the steroids yesterday. She has been telling me that she 'doesnt feel right' and is very sad and clingy. It has really altered her moods again, poor thing. Today she fell off the see-saw and banged her chin which didn't help. Tonight she has been telling me that she doesn't feel well and that she doesn't think she is well enough for nursery tomorrow.

She has also been talking about her new hospital which we will be attending from August when we move. It is another specialist oncology hospital and we are praying that she will have a smooth transition to the new hospital. It will be very different for her as she is used to the nurses and playworkers where we are now, so we are hoping she will settle quickly. It is odd how you get into a hospital routine, but it will be odd for all of us getting used to the new procedures at the next hospital. Due to the way the hospital is set-up, we will also probably need to go once a week instead of once a month, as we have been told there are no oncology community nurses to do her weekly bloods at our new home. This will mean an afternoon a week out of school for her.

Here's hoping she feels better tomorrow.
