A brief lull

Last few days have been mostly quiet. Quiet in the way of medical emergencies. Shivam and Meera, of course, are having a lot of fun together and keep us very busy all throughout the day. Meera manages to keep mummy busy though the night too.

We were hoping to get Shivam’s blood count results from the test yesterday but looks like the hospital lab goofed up and did not run the blood count tests even though Dr. Rabi Hanna had ordered them. With a bit of luck, we would find them out on Tuesday’s tests.

With his port continuously accessed, we were quite afraid to give him a proper bath. Yesterday, they removed the access tube as he gets no medicines on the weekend. Today, both Shivam and Meera had a long bath and then followed that with a dance session watching “Rock and Roll Family” on Zee TV. Exhausted after the crazy running around, Meera, Shivam and Urmila have crashed out and sleeping.

We are trying to move Shivam to his own room. Step one of the transition began today as we moved a king size bed in his “new” room with all his toys and stuff. The plan would be to gradually make him sleep on his own in his room (currently, I will be sleeping with him). The major factor that scares me is what if anything happens to him while he is sleeping? There are many scenarios and I do not even want to list them. But we definitely want him to go back to his old, pre-cancer routine of sleeping in his own room. Let’s see how this attempt goes.
