I am pleased to say that this will be my last post. I have had a phone call today from Dr Christian Kratz who advises that there was absolutely no sign of any residual tumour on Liams latest CT scan. This is the best possible outcome that I could possibly have wished for. I am […]
I have decided to add another post today as I think the events of yesterday warrant it. A wee while ago I sent an application in on Liams behalf to the Make a Wish Foundation. His wish was for a trampoline. Yesterday his wish was granted. We decided to surprise Liam with his wish, so […]
This will be my last post for a while. I have made the decision that after Liam’s CT scan on the 1st of March I will stop updating this blog. The blog initially started as a way for me to keep everyone informed of Liams progress through his treatment, both while we were staying at CHOC, and […]
We got back from our holiday in Auckland late this evening. We had a fantastic time, but as always it is nice to be home in our own beds. We decided that there are some pluses to having cancer as if it wasn’t for Liam and this blog we wouldn’t have been the recipients of Jane […]
Liam, Ashleigh and I went into Wellington Hospital for bloods to be taken today. He was a very brave little soldier, and only had a very small panic attack just before the needle went in, but allowed them to take three vials of blood. These are being sent to Australia to identify whether or not he […]
So far so good, 2009 has started off well. I have received a phone call from Dr Kratz who has advised that he has located a lab in Australia who will undertake the genetic testing for Liam and find out if there is a family connection between the cancers and whether further tests are required on […]
Well talk about seeing in 2009 in style. We had Jaspers family up for a BBQ on a beautiful Kapiti Coast day. We dragged out the singstar 80’s and after a few drinks I thought I was singing remarkably well, and no girls it doesn’t have the Gambler on it, however we did do a […]
Christmas Eve has brought a new little baby into the world. Some very close friends of mine welcomed their beautiful new daughter Isobella this morning at about 7am. Her big sister had been dropped off at my place shortly after 5am, and we took a wee trip down to the local hospital early this morning […]
Today would have been Matt’s 37th birthday. As my good friend Mel has said she always remembers having a conversation with Matt moaning about getting older and he told her that every birthday he reached was a victory and a blessing. I know he had 34 wonderful years, but he should have been around to celebrate many more and […]
The week has gone by quickly, not too much happening, but Liam and I went to see Charles Davis (surgeon extraordinaire) today over in Lower Hutt. He is still pleased with Liam’s progress but thinks there may be a slight infection in the eye which explains the “gunk”. Certainly nothing to be concerned about, and I just need to make […]
