Update

On Wednesday, Fintan had his second dose of Chemotherapy. It was another long day, but Fintan was really good as usual. He seemed more bothered by it all this time, occasionally throughout the day he would suddenly get upset and squirm about as if he was uncomfortable or in pain. This was hard to see at times as there wasn't much we could do to comfort him. He has also been more affected by the sickness this time.

To the right is a photo of Fintan in his hospital bed. I can't tell if he is looking at his infuser with the respect that it is helping him, or with contempt at the discomfort it's causing him.
Archie and Barnaby came over to visit him in the afternoon, after a quick hello to make sure Fintan was OK, they thought it would be a good idea to make sure the play room was in good working order...it was.
Fintan has discovered that he can yelp (kind of like an excited American baseball fan "whoa, yeah"), this is all very amusing to him, especially at 10 o'clock last night when Fiona was trying to get him to sleep!

We are all getting very festive here, the tree is up and decorated; and chocolates have been duly dispersed around it. Archie and Barnaby seem to be most interested with this addition, and keep reminding us of their whereabouts. Fintan on the other hand likes the fairy lights...nice and bright, and hundreds of them.



Fintan is next in the Hospital between Christmas and New Year. The good thing about that is it means that he will be hopefully be feeling at his best for Christmas Day.
