Camp and Radiation


Ohh to all all you people who said Radiation will be a walk in the park and that the ladies there are fantastic and great......YOU GOT IT SO RIGHT!!!!

Today was Imogen first initial Radiation appt, to met the machine and then hopefully get the planning CT scan done. Well, I tell you the morning I was not feeling to optimistic Immie woke, in the most grumpiest mood she has since being home. We rushed around, getting all the last minute things ready for Kod's Camp Quality Camp and then taking some pics of him in costume. You have to click on to the link below to see the effort Kods put into the mask for his costume (a surprise till you look - lol). Kody has been very excited about going on camp, he started asking to pack his bag on Wednesday. They are going to the Blessing of the Fleet in Dongara for four days, 20 kids and a heap of wonderful and incredible volunteers. They will have a blast they always do on Camp Quality Camps. Tho just quietly I already miss him, its awfully quiet around here. We made the mad dash to Subiaco in peak traffic arriving at 9am.

After registering Kods for Camp we waved him good bye, and yeap went quickly to Officeworks (hey I was just down the road from it, and have not been there in oh..a week and half). Then back up the road we actually managed to walk pass the bus as it was just leaving so we really did get to wave good bye.

Back to the crazy carpark, and when we had packed everything in the car and of course had twenty cars backed up behind us, Immie pipes up " I need to go to the toilet", argh!!!....Of course there was not turning back...that car park is savage, we did a mad dash to Charlies (Gardiner Hospital). We found the " F " Block with ease, mad dash in for a pink parking permit, then a mad dash to the toilet. Then we strolled out as we were about 45 mins early. Sorted all the bags of entertainment in the car, then back in, to check in.

We had not been waiting long and we were approached by a lovely lady. Down to the CT scanner machine, met two more great ladies. Then Immie performed like a star of her own matinee. She jumped up on the bed, turned this way then, that, let them mark her with texta (no we don't need to be tattooed or have a face mask made). Then Imogen laid as still as a statue, while we all went out of the room and I chatted to her on the speaker. It was amazing, I was so proud of our super girl. They got all the pics they needed, so we then went and grabbed a wheel chair and got wheeled over to the new cancer centre. That is were we will be having the radiation. Immie was a little worried about the wheelchair to start with and we soon discovered why, when she asked "if I sit in the chair will you have to cut my leg off" (the things kids pick up is incredible, there are quite a few kids in wheelchairs on the ward with no leg/s).

Anyway we met some more great ladies over at the cancer centre and had a ride on the table. Then on the way back Immie spotted a Tinkerbell balloon, Imogen is besotted with Tinkerbell and the movie Peter Pan, she can constantly be heard chanting "I do believe in Fairies", the lady at the radiation went back and bought it for her. How nice is that!!!!. After that the wheelchair returned, we went off to find another of Immies whim, Red rooster (did she eat any - nope) and then on to Granmas.

We then went to Spotlight, and then the Licensing centre to finally sort out my license that was stolen a while ago.

Home again, Immie need a fix of Peter Pan,

Fairy Dreams to all, remember lots of clapping and chanting "I do believe fairies" it keeps the fairies alive,

Love Us
