What helped your kid through chemo?
Our closest friends have a 19 month old starting chemo/carboplatin next week. They have a good network of friends, but I would like to harness that, possibly even crowdsourcing the purchase of some things that would help them get through chemo.
I thought about getting a tonies box (the newer edition is rated 1y+), but saw there was a disclaimer that the tonies have magnets, which can interfere with programmable shunts (which this little guy now has).
I learned about Port Protect, for applying numbing cream without the use of plastic wrap. These seem pricy--are they worth it?
Mainly:
What are comfort items your kid benefited from during and after chemo sessions?
If you had a toddler go through chemo--any recommendations on what worked best to keep them as relaxed/entertained/happy as possible?
