This week has been one of those weeks we’d happily never repeat.
3 different hospitals, blood transfusions, antibiotics, endless waiting around, and so much confusion from different teams giving different answers. It’s been exhausting and frustrating trying to keep up with everything while just wanting the best for Archie.
What people don’t always see is how traumatic all of this can be for a child. The constant needles, tubes, medicines, alarms, tests, strangers coming in and out, being poked and prodded over and over again… it’s a lot for anyone, never mind a little boy who just wants to be home.
And while we focus so much on Archie, it’s also been incredibly hard mentally on Sammy too. Watching your son go through all of this, the constant hospital trips, changes in plans, worry, and uncertainty affects the whole family more than words can explain.
But… Archie is finally back home ❤️
Now we wait for blood results to find out whether he’s well enough for chemotherapy this week, or if treatment will need delaying again.
Thank you to everyone who’s checked in, sent messages, helped out, and kept Archie in your thoughts this week. It really does mean more than you know.
Hopefully this next week is a little kinder to our brave boys 💙
