Kody's First Camp - 16th/17th April

The mystical gorilla

Close encounters - ARGH!!!!

Kody and Mummy after camp

Hi all
Kody went on camp with the hospitals OT staff and a huge group of volunteers.
It was with a huge group of sibilings that had brothers or sisters that had cancer.
Kody said he had the best time, they did archery and drawing, though it was a bit
emotional : ). It has really helped Kody to realise that he is not the only one, who has a sibling that is going through all of this. Also that his emotions and feelings are normal for these circumstances. We are so glad that it was avaliable to him and us to help him tackle this first intial difficult time when Imogen was diagnosed.
Thankyou to PMH for organising it and the many people who donated there time
and places to stay.
Love the Holmes Gang

P.S Kody won first prize for his mystical gorilla costume, he

spent many nights thinking it up, it was very cute xx

Chemo three and counting - 10th - 14th April

My beautiful boy- Easter weekend

Dressed up in his easter activity ears, wonder how much longer
I will be able to get him to that!!

Yes, a very attractive photo of myself, but one with my beautiful boy
so I am happy. Kody has been amazing since all of this has happen
with Immie. He is strong, amazing, a super brother and incredible son.
Kody has brought me amazing joy , over the years, but more so when I watch him
with Imogen and how devoted he is to her. What an amazing love and bond they share,
Thank you Kody for bring YOU!!

Cooper having fun at his party

Hi all
Not one to miss out on a party even a 3 year old's
I went along to Cooper's party (Imogen's playgroup friend).
Poor imogen stayed home with granma as she did not have enough
good stuff to be hanging out at McDonalds. All the kids had a
great time and it was great to catch up with my
playgroup friends.
Love Fiona xx
