1st infusion (continued)

Pads is reacting fairly normally to the infusion of cisplatin. It's hanging up covered by a red bag to protect it from being degraded by light. Next to it is the fluids drip, going in at a rate of knots to ensure his kidneys are getting a good flushing. He's tired and started feeling ill in the early afternoon although that has been eased a little with the anti-sickness drug. He should be out tomorrow morning.
Rhys took his chemo yesterday too and that went fine, except he's feeling tired today too. Not too tired to miss Jonathan Munday's induction as pastor of Exeter Independent Evangelical Church. I drove some of us from Tabernacle down in the minibus and by the 3pm start there was standing room only. It was an excellent service with our Pastor, a close friend of Mr Munday's, taking the sermon on 'seek ye first the kingdom of heaven' where he challenged us all to ensure our priorities were 'God first, else second'.
Others travelling today included the McFarlanes returning to Scotland (with Moli who had another week's school holiday to 'kill'). So just me and the wee boys at home tonight - quiet...

That was speedy! Sorry I did not realise you were there. It was great to see so many people- when I was at uni in Exeter that church did not exist- the Lord has indeed done great things.

yes - we had a good trip back, only nodded off a the wheel once. It was great to be at the induction - they've got a peach of a pastor - what a blessing! Good to see you and yours - all the many children were _so_ well behaved...
