Adrian is adapting to a totally new schedule today on his first day of Radiotherapy Treatment. This schedule will have to stay for the whole duration of his RT (i.e. 2 weeks' time). First, he got waken up by Mama no later than 7am and then he has to finish breakfast by 8am (i.e. 4 hours prior to RT for sedation). And as soon as we arrived K8N at 10am, I told the nurse about Adrian's cold symptoms. Surprisingly, doctors/nurses didn't do anything (I thought they were going to isolate us) simply because Adrian didn't develop a fever!!!

In preparation for Adrian's upcoming Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation, baby was required to leave a number of samples such as stool, urine, blood & nose serum etc to do some testing and determine if he is medically fit for BMT. We also met with the Dentist (to see if there's any cavities) and Dietitian (advice on diets during BMT). Apart from the RT at noon, Adrian also had Chest X-Ray, Bone Age & ECG today - all for BMT. RT ran smoothly than expected, baby fell asleep and the actual irradiation part took only 2 mins. We are approved for daily Home Leave so we get to go home everyday. Hope tomorrow will be as good as today's!
