Well I think that the weather gods are messing with our heads at the moment. We go from brilliantly sunny beach days like yesterday to overcast miserably cold days like today. No wonder everyone keeps getting sick! I have Ashleigh Jane home with a hacking cough and a bit of a fever today. She is tucked […]
Liam and I went to see Charles Davis his Plastic Surgeon yesterday. He is very pleased with the way that Liams face is looking, and was very impressed with the way the tissue in his mouth moulds itself and now just looks like it should. It is incredible as there was no skin graft or […]
Just thought I would add this video as well. Featured is Liams cousin Jack (10 years) who was upset that he couldn’t attend Liam’s birthday party because he had a motorcross race, so he decided that he was going to dedicate the remainder of his races to Liam. On the side of the bike it […]
I took Liam into the Orthotics centre in Wellington today to be fitted for a splint for his leg. They put a plaster cast on up to his upper calf which Liam said was very hot but was just like when he broke his arm (don’t remember them putting a cast on his leg when he […]
Today was the big day of Ashleighs birthday party. We all arrived at the Kapiti Ten Pin Bowling for what I was anticipating as being another painful two and a half hours of children stressing me out, what actually ensued was a very relaxing two and a half hours. The kids had a fantastic time […]
Kapanui School had their Olympics day today. Out of all the children at the school (over 700 I think) Liam was chosen to be the torch bearer and light the Olympic flame. His ‘whanau’ group were representing Japan so he is all dressed up in his Japanese outfit as well. The torch that he carried […]
I took Liam to see the Optician today, earlier than expected which was great as it meant he only missed out on lunch and has now gone back to school (much to his disgust I might add). The optician, Annette, confirmed that there is damage to the optic nerve on Liam’s right eye. The damage […]
Up early with the sparrows this morning as Ashleigh was very excited about it being her birthday. When she was asked how it felt to be 6 she said it felt a bit “freaky”, but that she felt a bit bigger. She was very spoilt and like Liam got some very special presents. We have […]
Don’t panic! I have changed the look of the blog – was just mucking around and decided a change is as good as a holiday! We are off to the Oncologist again tomorrow, he has heard back from the Oncologist in the US who has treated 3 adults with the same type of tumour with […]
The party was scheduled for 11am this morning at the local Glow Golf. Glow golf is a mini putt design under infrared lights. It involves the cities of the world and things like the Great Wall of China, The Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa were all glowing. The golf clubs and balls […]
