Update 17/06/09

Hi all,

After a week in hospital and then a week home, Tim went back to 6A on
Monday for the repeat of the last chemo belt...... Unfortunately,
today he was sent home as his blood counts are too low to have the
chemo and it would be far too dangerous for him. A bit of a set back
and a major bummer as he had his own room this time. Tim will have
blood tests on Friday to see how his neutrophils and platelets are
going and if they are on the way up he will hopefully have the chemo
next week. (Funny to actually hope for chemo!!) Just got to roll
with it all.......

Tim's forehead is much better from the radiation burns. Just at a
peeling stage now, the redness has really settled. His headaches have
subsided for the moment, he is just extremely fatigued.

This week we had Christmas in June, thanks to our caring friends and
colleagues at Burke Hall. A fortnight or so worth of dinners plus
wine, teas and tea pot, soaps, vouchers, magazines, chocolates,
biscuit's, a cook book for chemo, a beautiful scarf for Tim, hand
cream and toys, books and puzzles for the children arrived on our
doorstep last Friday night. It was a the best surprise and Josh
refers to it as 'the day that was like Christmas'!!! Indeed it
was....we feel so loved and supported and are so very grateful to our
friends at Burke Hall who put so much thought into the incredible
hamper. It put a huge smile on all of our faces..........

Until next time.....

Lots of love

Andi
