We attended the long awaited Genetics appointment on Thursday at Kenepuru Hospital. I haven’t written before now as I thought I would give myself time to calm down. Unfortunately 3 days hasn’t done it, I am still angry. The professor that we saw was very nice and had obviously done a fair bit of research into […]
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 […]
Liam and the lego, Coco looking after his buddy Liam! And there you have it, Liam has come through another surgery, another page in the book. We actually came home yesterday, but stayed with Jasper for the night before returning home this morning. Liam was so bright and there were no complications save a bit […]
I have good news to report! Liams surgery went really well, after the initial hiccup of getting his portacath accessed. He had decided to go with the needle this time instead of the gas as it distresses him so much. Unfortunately he had worked himself up into such a state that he had convinced himself […]
We have had a good week for the last week of the school holidays. I took the kids to the movies one day and to the gym a couple of times where they did a bit of a “jump jam” session which they had a marvellous time at. On Friday Carol and I took them to […]
Today is my 35th birthday! I have had a nice weekend, Jasper and I went out for lunch on Friday, then we had a few friends around for a BBQ last night which was lovely and the kids brought me a big box of chocolates for breakfast this morning! (Jasper also cooked me some eggs!) […]
We had an incredibly busy weekend, heading into the Sound of Music at the Opera House on Friday night to start things off. The seven of us had front row seats so we had an unobstructed view for the entire performance. One of the highlights for the kids was when Captain Von Trapp was dancing […]
The week had been pretty uneventful until this evening. Liam and Ashleigh were playing with two friends on the trampoline while their Mum and I were having a nice quiet cup of tea inside. Next thing we heard an absolute blood curling scream coming from, you guessed it Liam. You know one of those screams […]
Today my heart is full of sadness for Shanell, Jason, Kaleb, Jordan and beautiful wee Kyah. I met Shanell and Kyah through the Child Cancer Foundation as Kyah is only 3 years old and has neuroblastoma. Shanell, Jason and Kyah returned to CHOC on Monday as Kyah has been having problems with pain which they thought was an […]
Here is a picture of Liam and the other mascots at the Phoenix soccer game in Wellington last night. Riley the little dot at the front of the picture is wearing his beads of courage. Can you believe that he is only 4 years old and has 800 beads, what an amazing kid. The evening […]
