The Holmes Gang: A new "Normal" Life begins again : )

Hi Gorgeous People

Well I have been very slack...though I have excuses... : )

Number One – Last Tuesday we recieved the best news we have heard in a long time, Super Imogen has once again been declared from her end of treatment scans that she has no evidence of disease. This is incredible news, which ultimately means that everything she has endured in the last year since relapse has been well, well worth it. Imogen can only be defined as a miracle super girl. With all the crappy statistics stacked against her, she once again proved she is stronger and way smarter than them. Haha...Cancer’s butt has been kicked again : P.

Number Two – I think I went into a state of shock last Tuesday, from the great news and also due to the fact we now only have to attend the resort (PMH) every 3 months. I had really believed it would be monthly.... I was happily surprised to discover this was not correct. In the last two and ½ years we have never been away for 3 months from the resort. WOW...a whole term of school for the girl, no missing days, this means a lot when you read her report that mentions 22 ½ days absent from school this term. Imogen is coming ahead in her education in leaps and bounds, but these extra days will make a huge difference.

Last Tuesday night I just dissolved, the road to this point has been long and tiring. The stress your body consistently runs on is incredible; it at the time the glue that holds you together. When this is removed, it is the most bizarre relieving scary feeling. Last week I spent the week drifting, now this week I am joined by my two buddies (school holidays begun this week).

Our life’s begin again, our new, new normal life’s will soon include a new lil man (12 weeks), a few behaviour adjustments to Imogen who has been the centre of our universe for all the time in treatment. For her it's strange place, one where she has to work out where she fits, as she no longer remembers a time of her life that was not centred on the Resort and procedures. I have no doubt she will gradually work this out. Kody is begun to realise that our family is back together full time, though we have all changed. Jason’s business continues to grow. I will return to uni for one unit this semester and our love for each other will grow stronger.

Though we will never forget the ride cancer took us on, I do hope it becomes a distance memory far from our everyday thoughts.

Thanks for the love and prayers xx

Love and Smiles to all

Me at 28 weeks and Jacinta (my sister in law) at 35 weeks

P.S. A couple of weeks ago Imogen and myself did a trip to see Anika and Hammer : P(aka Hannah) in Albany. We were able to spend two day, having fun together at the pool and fun house. The girls enjoyed the time together, even if at times the friendship was a little strained. Two head strong girls together..need I say anymore. It was great to able to have big chats with Hannah, over hot coffee and sweet treats. Big Love to you both gorgeous girls, hopefully we can do it all again soon. Thanks for keeping us entertained. Also thanks for the accommodation to our friend Dana.
