Hi all
Yesterday was Immies cat scan to help the surgeons determine whether they will operation prior to stem cell and mega therapy. Immie and her daddy left very early (a struggle for Jas – not exactly the early bird) at 6.20am to arrive at the hospital to the nurses surprise very very early. The cat scan ran on time, 10am, Immie was an incredibly good girl for all the doctors and nurses. During the cat scan they also did a bone marrow aspiration to record where they stand before being stem cell, the lovely nurses also changed her dressing while she was asleep, this is something we are incredibly grateful as Immie hates dressing changes. After a bungle up at pharmacy they arrived home at 2.30pm. Jas was also told that next Wednesday (10th) we will receive the decision from the surgeons and find out when stem cell will begin. A relief as we were thinking we would have to wait another agonising week for results. Even though we realise Immie could and probably will be very sick from stem cell, we really are waiting with anticipation for stem cell, as it means that after this Immie will be able to spend more time being a very normal gorgeous four year old. It sounds like Immie will be out of action from school for up to 6 weeks after the stem cell rescue, and then she will begin radiation. Right now we are asking for thoughts, vibes and prayers that the results next Wednesday, allow for the surgeons to make a decision that will benefit Imogen’s results in a successful stem cell rescue.
On the Kody front yesterday I went to the sports carnival, were Kody was incredibly brave even with a sore ankle managed to participate in every event, Incredible Kody he has learnt so much and grown so much from watching his sister kick cancers butt. A beautiful sibling relationship, were Kody as well teaches her so much. We are very very lucky to have amazing kids and a beautiful family. On a sad note Kody’s faction” Bounty” slipped from second to last in the last half of the afternoon..boo hoo, I think maybe the whole thing is rigged!!! lol
Love Hugs and Kisses
