Day 180
Well so much for my future being paved with lots of dollars, I didn’t win the big 30 million on Saturday night, I did however win $61. I guess that is better than nothing! (Sorry Indu, no cut on the million dollars) We did have a wee bit of excitement when we saw that one of the winners bought their ticket at Johnsonville lotto, which was where Jasper got his from, but alas it wasn’t us. Oh well back to work – oh wait a minute, I don’t have a job, back to the study then!
Anyway, Liam was well enough on Friday so I made him go back to school. He had mooched around all day Thursday saying he was bored, so I thought he was better off back at school. He didn’t seem to agree though, until I told him that it was dress up day, and he immediately changed his tune. I then loaded him up with tissues and wipes in case his eye and nose weeped, and sent him off.
His eye is looking fantastic, it is still slightly swollen and very red but you can see that the eye is in a much better position, and pretty soon apart from him being a bit gappy on the tooth front, and the small scar beside his left eye you will not be able to tell that he has anything wrong with him.
With a bit of luck this is the turning point in the journey and the nightmare of the last 5 years is almost over, and we can returning to being a normal family (as normal as we can be I guess!)

Hi Liam and family,
I am the one who told you that I follow this blog as you came into theatre last Wednesday. I often work with Indu on Charles’ cases (I am an Anaesthetic Technician) and was with Liam for his first surgery…..not sure what happened with the roster and why I wasn’t there on Weds. I am also a face patient of Charles’ so have an interest in these types of cases! Anyway, glad to hear all is well and school is back on the agenda. From my experience all the changes resulting from the surgery soon become part of normal day life, and you sort of forget about them. I told Indu about this blog and she has posted you a message a few days back, and she told Charles about it today. Anyway, keep on healing well

Looking forward to catching up in Jan and you know that there’s always room over here if you decide to take that family holiday….I’m sure the kids would love the fun parks (although they don’t compare to Disneyworld but hey they’re still fun!)
lots of love

Hi Becs and Liam
Great to hear that all has gone so well. I have been in Atlanta for a couple of weeks, and Peter has been working flat out on the kitchen, so we have been out of the loop with info until now!
That is all such great news – onwards and upwards, and looking forward to catching up soon.
Love Robyn & Peter x x x x x
