Weekly Treatment Review

It has been a week. Reg has been feeling well so far. Besides the minor dry skin, he is doing well. The first weekly treatment has been done and the doctor was happy with the progress. Reg has been given warning that the side effect will come on by second week, but mainly tiredness and may affect eating slightly. So the family praise God that one third of the treatment has been done and Reg has been responding well.

Reg tries to get back to normality of life and has been a bit more active as much as he can. Watching MasterChef has been a good inspiration for Reg and he has attempted Green Eggs and Ham, as well as making a classic French dish Coq au Vin (Chicken in wine). Unfortunately, Jed could not eat eggs and disliked daddy's chicken (may be too much wine for a little kid), yet the rest of the family thought he did a great job especially with the chicken. Reg is still trying to master his hollandaise sauce, but he has been limited to only try the recipe at most once a week due to its fat content! His next challenge dish will be roast chicken and the family will keep everyone posted his progress.

While the family is taking a bit more relax time seeing Reg is feeling much better, ANita is struggling with her own tiredness. Oddly enough, she thought she can relax a little bit, but she is experiencing more tiredness than ever. She even managed to dose off to sleep so early in the night and forgotten to help REg with his injection. She is trying to combat her own tiredness, and praying God will continue to grant her the strength.

Jed is enjoying mummy spending more time with him, while Reg enjoys being in the kitchen since he is able to. However, Jed is still fuzzing over when daddy wants to read him stories at night, so the family is yet to work out ways to do it and praying for wisdom. Meantime, Jed is sick tonight with fever soaring just above 39. The family is praying it will not be serious and that Reg will not be affected. They can only ask for God's protection.

Although life is full of ups and downs, our faithful God never changes.
