From Andi:
Hello everyone,
Tim was readmitted to ward 6A on Monday for another big dose of
chemotherapy. He had Methotrexate continuously for 24 hours followed
by Asparaginase the following day. The cranial radiation after
effects have come to the forefront with Tim having a terrible red,
burning rash on his forehead and shocking headaches. All this
compounded with the cocktail of chemo has left Tim feeling extremely
uncomfortable with pain in his legs, head and just the all over
'feeling like crap and I look like crap'. Poor Tim, he is very self
conscious of his forehead and his ability to gain 6 kilos in as many
days. He is still in hospital, unsure of when he will come home.
Thank God he has his ipod and dvd player to help pass the time and
block out the unfortunate wails and accidents of the neighboring
patients. It really is the most depressing place and it takes one
incredible mind and spirit to withstand the 25 or so nights notched up
so far. The hardest part is knowing that Tim has to go through it all
again in 10 days. AAAgghh.
A gigantic thank you to Andrew Hamilton for all his efforts in
organising the fundraising luncheon that was held in May. It was
tremendous to be able to bring Tim and say hello to everyone. It
looked and felt like it was a friendly and relaxed Sunday afternoon,
Tim and I certainly 'felt the love' when we walked in. It was a very
successful day and Tim, myself and the boys are so very grateful to
you all for helping us out at this unfortunate time in our lives.
Will be in touch with more news soon,
Loads of love
Andi

Howdy! Finally got all the various issues with the Donate button sorted - if you are like me and couldn't make the lunch Andi mentioned but wanted to help out financially, you can use it to donate to an account for Tim and his family. It uses paypal, and may take a couple of days to leave your account once the donation has been made - if you have any questions of issues just email the blog.
