It is almost here and the anticipation in our house is already mounting! Francesca is certainly at the age where this is big and real - Charlie is going along with it all (especially the chocolate advent calendar) and Stuart and I were pressured by them to put the tree up a whole week earlier that we would have normally!
Francesca has generally had a good couple of weeks - she has had a really bad cough that has been very persistent and has kept her up at night. She often comes into see us which is disruptive for everyone. I hope that it is simply a post viral thing and that she'll bounce back next week.
Next Tuesday we are due to go the Lewisham Hospital for chemotherapy and the beginning of steroids. My hope is that with the excitement of Christmas Francesca's aches and pains (and bad mood from the steroid) won't be too exaggerated. We have Stuart's work children's party next week (which is simply amazing) and Fran's school play where she is leading the train dressed as a Christmas Cracker, so there is a lot of fun to be had in what is usually a hard week for Francesca. There will be many photo's to follow as the camera will undoubtedly be out constantly next week!
I will post again the middle of next week with an update and Christmas Cracker photo's!
