Scan time again

This date came around a lot quicker than we thought...
Tomorrow Gavin is due to have a CT and MRI.
This will be his first scan since all the treatment and operations in Amsterdam and also since starting the new regime of chemotherapy.
He is in great form eating loads too..Only thing is that the chemo has really hit his white blood cells which look after his immune system. For 2 weeks now his levels have dipped so we have had him under house arrest more or less. The risk of him catching something is very very high so we just haven taken any chances. It's so hard but he has been great.
We have increased the levels of washing hands and using alcohol bacteria jels with 
All of us and anyone that comes into the house. 
So tomorrow morning up early last bottle of formula at 7am and then clear fluids till 12 then nothing until he comes back from scans. We're last on the day list like always...so it will be about 5 before he has the scans. Results nxt week as early as possible we hope..the waiting for the call is something that will never get any easier....

And Gavin has had some nice surprises over the last week....
Last Friday his new superman bed came all the way from Galway to be installed. A man call John Killilae donated the bed and fleece blanket to Gavin through Aoibheanns Pink Tie after seeing them on the Secret millionaire program..ahh Gavin for the first time in nearly a year is back in his own room. He wakes a bit but is getting better ever night.
Picture below of Coor and Gavin and his new amazing bed.



Also Halloween was a great time also. We all got mackup done for the night and as u can see ghostie ghost was Gavin's choice.....


The scary family.....
