First time around, Marlon wanted nothing to do with his pills.  He wouldn't touch them and each one had to be covered with ice cream.  He even chose to get the feeding tube near the beginning of treatment ( https://www.lovingheart.ca/2020/10/october-1-2020.html?m=1 ). partially in the hopes that pills could be liquified and go through the tube.  He was disappointed when it turned out he still had to take pills.

This time around, pills weren't such a big deal.  He could handle taking pills as long as I gave them to him.  Last week though, he just started taking his own pills, no ice cream needed.

At sick kids the other day, when they mentioned how sick he will be feeling, they suggested he may want to consider a feeding tube to at least get some food going into his stomach and through the intestines.  Marlon gave that a hard no.  He will not have a feeding tube again.

My niece lives in Toronto and is happy to let us stay in her and her partner's house for a few nights before being admitted.  It will still be at least an hour's drive but no 401 and not as long.  Good to have that sorted out.


In the morning, I often see cobwebs that have been woven into the tall grass.  Hard to get a picture though because the lens focuses on blades of grass rather than the web. This one turned out ok.
