Today we went to Milson's Point so I could see the funny face(Luna Park).
When we got there I became scared and refused to even look at it! Kayla had a play
at the adjoining park but I was feeling lethargic and wanted to be held. We visited Pop on
the way home and then Uncle Ed came over for a swim in the afternoon. |

A couple of friends came over to help celebrate Kayla's birthday. We had
all had fun in the pool and then played inside for the rest of the afternoon. My appetite
seems to be coming back in full force. |

Today was the last day of this chemo. I haven't had to go to the hospital
since Monday and I am not due back until next Wednesday for another lumber puncture. |

Another hot day. Pop and Robbie came over and we all went for a swim, even
Pop. The first time he has ever been in our pool. |

Remember all those Christmas trees I helped decorate? Well today is the
day to take all your Christmas decorations down and I had to do the rounds to help. We
went down to Pop's house and helped him, then when we got back home we took our
decorations down and then went for a swim. Later we went to Avó's house for dinner and to
take down their decorations. My appetite seems to have diminished a bit, but I can still
enjoy some chocolate. |

A very hot day may have contributed to my lack of appetite and also my
desire to go swimming. However we had to wait until our friend Sean came over in the
afternoon. We all played in the pool for over an hour. |

Another early start for everyone, we had to be at the hospital by 7:30am
for a blood test followed by a bone marrow test and lumber puncture, under general
anaesthetic. The results of the bone marrow test showed that I am still in remission. I
started my fifth course of chemo today also, this one will be done entirely as an
outpatient. I need to have 2 injections a day, which Daddy will do, and 2 oral chemo doses
a day as well. This course lasts only 5 days. In the afternoon we all went swimming again. |
