We went down to milk the cow again today, this time I had a go too. After
another pony ride we went canoeing in the dam. After lunch, we packed up and
came home.

After breakfast today, we travelled by tractor to milk the cow and collect
the eggs. Then we had pony rides before going to Kids' Club, for a parent
free break! After lunch we had a spa bath, before riding the horses to the
camp fire. Here we made damper and toasted marshmallows.

We went on a holiday to a farm, Mowbray Park at Picton, just south of
Sydney. We went on a tractor ride and saw goats, cows, sheep, bunnies,
chooks, pigs, horses, an emu and a peacock.

My clinic visit this morning showed that my counts are still
"normal", though my platelets haven't quite reached the normal
range yet. At least I don't need blood transfusions now.

Wednesday, 26th January 2000 *** Australia Day *** |
|
We went to the Australia day celebrations at the local park and saw
the billy cart races. Kayla and I each had a ride in the miniature motorised
cars with Daddy and we bumped into Sarah and her Matthew! For dinner we went
over to Avó's house for a good old Aussie lamb roast.

Pop came and took us to Parramatta Park where we feed all the ducks our old
bread. There was even a mother duck that had seven baby ducklings. I liked
them the best!

I went to clinic this morning. My counts were fine, but I needed an
immunoglobulin transfusion to help boost my immune system. Michelle and
David visited and brought more Christmas presents for us. Then we spent the
afternoon swimming in the pool.

We had some friends over for lunch today. While Kayla was off playing with
Hayden, I sat at the table eating. I am eating slightly slower again, but
still manage to eat more than my share.

My counts were fine today at clinic, but I will need an immunoglobulin
transfusion next week. The GVHD seems to still be under control, so the
steroids have been dropped down a notch. I wonder if my appetite will now
decrease a bit. I saw my favourite Nurse Jo today, I gave her a big hug.

We all went on a train ride to the city today, we had a picnic in Hyde Park
and then Daddy took Kayla and me to the Museum. I liked the skeletons,
crystals and the play about bats that was on in the theatrette.

Today we went to McDonald's for lunch as a special treat. Later I went on my
first big walk, in a long time, up to the local park. My expanding tummy
could do with the exercise!

An early morning clinic visit showed my counts are healthy and we are
starting to slowly reduce the steroids. My appetite is still as ferocious as
ever, but at least I am trying a wide variety of foods now.

Saturday, 1st January 2000 *** Happy New Year *** |
|
I slept through the New Year's Eve celebrations and woke up hungry as usual.
We had lunch at Pop's and then went kite flying at the park in the
afternoon.
