Hi all
Hope this reaches you all well, healthy and happy. We finally finished the week off, of tests and it came down to the appt with the oncologist to discuss the side effects of the mega therapy and stem cell rescue, this was certain a sobering moment. Defined - definitely a meeting you never what to have when you decided to become a parent, heart breaking, that the only thing you can do for your child is make them sick to make them better.
We also discovered Immie average kidney function tests - 89%, normal kid of her age - 80% - 110% and these results are prior to the major chemo next week, and her high range hearing is average...mmmm..thats why she doesn't listen...lol...could be just the fact she is a stubborn four year old I think!!!. On the positives, Immie is fabulous, healthy and FULL to the brim of energy and life, this is normally how children approaching stem cell rescue are as they have been beaten with that much chemo. SUPA GIRL IMMIE!!!!...well done to her. This leads to the dates for mega therapy to begin, hydration on Tuesday and then the big guns begin Wednesday. I have made up a word document stating whats happening see attached or possibly posted soon.
Over Friday and Saturday we had a blast, first beginning with the Mascot Grand Race in the city supporting telethon, that was hilarious...and Immie was squealing with delight every time she saw a new mascot. Back home to get Kods organised for his Dark light party with the school boys and then Immie and I went to see Granpa with his sore legs after his asparagus veins were removed.
Saturday morning at 9.30am we braved the cold and rain to go to the zoo with Granma, and had heaps of fun, saw the beautiful baby sun bear play fighting with his mum and Immie went on the Merry go round. Later in the afternoon we went to Immie's Kindy friend Joshua's party at HJ's, lots of fun and good for a chat.
Sunday has seen us busy busy trying to catch up and get ready for hospital, went today and got mobile broadband set up for hospital so I can continue to email and update blogs. We also recieved a gorgeous pack from my friend Karen and David and their family, to keep us stocked up with special treats during the hospital stay and some meals for our freezer too...Thanks people xx
Sending lots of love to you all
