Charlie's Birthday, Last Vincristine and line removed!


It has been such a busy few weeks. Charlie turned the grand old age of 3 (going on 13) a couple of weeks ago and the party lasted a good few days. Saturday with his friends and fantastic weather, Sunday with the family and Monday a trip to Hamleys with Birthday money!

On the Wednesday we were at Lewisham Hospital for Francesca's last ever vincristine and last set of steroids - it was a bit strange to think that we won't be making the regular visits to the ward and a little emotional to realise that we have just a few weeks until the end of treatment.

Fran has still been having daily antibiotics due to her previous line infection and, as we expected, GOS wanted the line to come out sooner rather than later. So, the wonderful Rochelle organised for that to be this week and it came out on Wednesday!! So, Fran has no wiggly any more! She's just got a cannula in her hand for iv's but that will come out today. In less than three weeks we will have finished treatment and we can't wait. We do go from excited to anxious but, in the main we are excited.

Here are some long overdue pictures - Charlie's birthday, Easter, GOS this week and others... x
