Today we all went on a family outing to Manly. We drove to Strathfield and
caught a train to Circular Quay and we then had to push and shove to get onto a Manly
ferry. On the ferry to Manly I saw the funny face (Luna Park). We had lunch at Manly
before making our way back. Once home we all jumped in the pool again because it has been
very hot. |

We went to Toys'R'Us at Parramatta this morning. Then we dropped in at the
hospital to get my lines hep-locked, so that they don't block up. I went to Hayden's
birthday party today, he is 4 years old, I had a great time. In the afternoon we all went
for a swim, Shell and David came and joined us too. |

Happy New Year everyone. Mummy and Daddy took me to hospital to check my
platelets, because they noticed some bruises. Luckily though my counts were all up,
including my platelets. My neutrophils are up high, 6.84, the highest they have been since
I was diagnosed. |

Today is Kayla's birthday, she is 4. We all went to the Macquarie shopping
centre, Mummy and Kayla went to the movies to see 'Madeline' and Daddy and I went to the
shops. In the afternoon Pop and Robbie came over and so did Avó, Avô and Uncle Ed. |

This morning I went down to Pop's house and helped him pick a whole bucket
full of passionfruits. I helped him eat some too. In the afternoon I played with Kayla in
the cubby house with playdough. |

I was discharged today, my neutrophils were 0.4. I am still on GCSF for
the next 2 days. I need to go back to the hospital on Saturday for a blood test and
check-up. The plan right now, if my counts are up, is to start the next course of chemo on
Monday. That means another bone marrow test, under general anaesthetic, to make sure
everything is still okay. Followed by the course of chemo, which hopefully I can do as an
outpatient again. |

My neutrophils have started to come back, they were 0.1 today. When they
get up high enough I can be discharged. I went home on a gate pass again today. I had to
have a platelet transfusion when I got back to the hospital. |
