Sorry that I haven't posted for a couple of weeks - life has been hectic. Francesca recovered from her operation very quickly and no longer mentions the fact that her port is now on the other side of her chest. The cuts the surgeons made have also healed really well and they don't bother her at all. Fran has been back to nursery as normal and she has had a good term there. In fact it is the most she has been to school all year so we are really glad.
We were at GOS last Wednesday for Fran's lumbar which all went well although it was a little bit sad as we said goodbye to a very special doctor who will be leaving at the end of this month. Marina (pictured) was the first doctor I saw when we arrived in the dead of night at GOS on the day Francesca was diagnosed. She was so very kind to both me and Francesca. She has since then seen Fran regularly when we have been up at the hospital and she holds a very special place in our hearts for being so wonderful - she will be missed by us.
Francesca's hair is continuing to grow and it won't be long until we will be busy buying hair clips again. She still complains that her legs hurt and she'll be having Vincristine next week which is a chemo that seems to make them quite sore. It will be half term though so shouldn't stop her from going back to nursery the week following.
Stuart and I have been feeling really tired recently, I think that the weight of the last 9 months has started to take its toll. As is typical of these things, it is only when life begins to slow down that the stress seems to catch up. We will look forward to having a break over the festive period and relaxing as a family.
Anyway, the photo's here are of Francesca bouncing on a trampoline in our friends back garden - we went for lunch a couple of weeks ago and Fran had a whale of a time bouncing. Also a picture of young miss F with her cat outfit on - we are having a small Halloween party and this is what she'll be wearing!
