Neutropenic Fever
A week back home
Hair falling out
Time to shave the dome
Feeding Atticus on a 2 hour schedule
Setting my timers is a weird thing to do
He has always made his own food before
But gotta get that fat to stick like glue
Visiting the class
At Gammans park one day
The sun was shining
As we watched friends play
Wearing a yellow ribbon
A friend shows support
Presenting handmade gifts
The Love, they did not thwart
Friends in abundance
Brothers Peter and Ted
Took Atticus to the park
Until he was ready for bed
Friday morning, bright and early
To the hospital we arrived
Port access was a struggle
The day took a nosedive
Another late start, with all the rules
Chemo started 11:30pm
We slept through it all
Nurses - amazing - so grateful for them
Methotrexate this go
Not quite as rough on the belly
Gravity and urine, I just don’t know
We wait; Olympics on the telly
Emotional days, the clown was silly
Atticus always polite
Gave him some laughs
Much to Clem’s delight
Atticus is homesick
It’s been a long week
I see the girls as much as I can
A balance, working on technique
Waiting, waiting for those levels to go down
One more day, no just one more
We might go crazy
This is such a bore
Wendy the Fabulous
Works here in transport
Got me lunch and coffee and cake
She’s a stupendous consort
My rainbow shoes
Brought me some cheer
Friend brought dinner,
Healing gifts, we hold dear
Tomorrow they say
We might get to leave
Valentines Day!
And a two night reprieve
Everything Sucks! is a Netflix show
Anneka’s proud! Watch, you will see
“Everything Sucks” is also our cry
We know it doesn’t… but... O.M.G…
