Update 23/04/09

From Andi:


Well everyone Tim has survived his power house of chemo...only
just....He currently feels like complete crap. He is out of hospital,
but only for a few days before being admitted again, where he will be
nursed through his neutropenic state. I suppose we wonder why he is
discharged at all, as he is completely bed bound....but home certainly
is better to be in than that horrendous ward 6A. If it wasn't for
Robbie, Tim's most recent stay would have been a living nightmare ( oh
...what...this isn't a dream....no, surely it is.....). It was so
nice for Tim to have someone young, positive, optimistic and who knows
exactly how he is feeling, right across from him to talk to. Tim and
Robbie should be in again together (both in neutropenic state) however
they will most likely be isolated. Unfortunately, Josh and I have
caught colds, so Tim has moved to his parents to steer clear of our
lurgy germs. The doctors have told Tim to come with a suitcase on
Friday when he has his blood tests, as they expect he will have to be
admitted. The boys and I miss Tim soooooo much.

The 'wall of courage' has again grown. The latest additions include
signed photographs with personal messages from, Kevin Rudd, Kate
Cebrano, John Williamson, Morgan Freeman, Peter Garratt, Pete and Myf,
'Straunie' and Eddie Mcguire. Tim also received a lovely 2 page ,
hand written letter from Tim Watson. Tim was so thrilled to receive
these, especially the letter from his childhood idol Tim Watson. Tim
was also able to ring him to thank him for his kind and encouraging
words . The letter and phone call all happened while he was in
hospital and really made his day.....he was absolutely blown away!

Unfortunately Tim was in hospital for Joshua's induction into the
world of AFL. Joshua just loved his first Auskick session and luckily
we filmed it all and took plenty of snaps. We definately have a
budding bomber on our hands. (much to Tim's delight......how much
better could it get? Both his son's love the Bombers, AC/DC and
fishing!!)

Bye for now

Love Andi
