Pop and Robbie came over to play today. I wasn't feeling
well this afternoon, I was off my food. Just before going to bed I did a
vomit, my temperature was normal, and I felt alright afterwards. Hopefully
it was just a tummy upset and will settle itself. I will be going to
clinic again on Thursday. |

Today I went to the shops, with Mummy, Daddy and Kayla, the
first time I've been in a long time. We went late in the day so that there
weren't too many people around. |

Mummy and Daddy went to H.O.P.E. Day (Hospital Oncology Parent Education)
at Parramatta. This conference was about educating parents about many aspects of cancer
and a chance to ask questions. So Kayla and I got to spend the day at Pop's house. Diddy
and Bill entertained us for a while and then we went on a nature walk. Later, when Mummy
and Daddy returned, we went to Avó's house to celebrate Avô's birthday for tomorrow. |

We drove into the city today, where we saw huge buildings, buses, fire
engines and the monorail. There were lots of big people rushing around. |

I had a clinic visit this morning. My counts were slightly down but nobody
is worried. The doctor is planning on getting my central line to come out within the next
month. I no longer need it for blood transfusions or medications. This is the end of
treatment and we can hope that "the odds are on my side" will keep me well for
the next 10 months (and beyond!). My next blood test is in a fortnight. |

My eyelashes and eyebrows are growing back! I hope my hair starts soon as
this cold windy weather is cold on my head! |

Today was Daddy's Birthday and we had a fun morning. Mummy took him
to the movies to see Star Wars so we got to stay at Avó's house and play with Uncle
Ed. Then we had a birthday cake and sung Happy Birthday. Tomorrow is a public holiday so
we will go to Pop's house to fix his computer. I go back to clinic on Thursday and we're
hoping my counts will be high enough to start socialising again. |

Daddy took us to clinic this morning. My counts are all up,up,up. My
white cells, neutrophils and platelets have all doubled in the last week, even so I still
can't go to crowded places. I only need to go back to clinic once a week now. |

Yesterday we went to Lake Parramatta for lunch and had great fun feeding
the ducks our stale bread. We had dinner at Avó's house last night with Diddy, Bill
and his sister Marion, and we had a BBQ at home for lunch today. I had
fun playing in the cubby house with Kayla and running around all afternoon. I go to
clinic next Wednesday for a blood test. |

We went to Pop's house today for lunch. After lunch we went for a walk
down to the Parramatta River and looked at the boats. I want to go on a Rivercat again and
see the funny face at Luna Park. Kayla and I started finding shells along the shoreline
and we collected them in a bag. Then we came across our favourite park and played for
awhile before walking back to Pop's house. We had such a fun day! |
