An interesting thing happened when a lady from "Comfort First" came. They come around and talk to children about their mental health. Cancer treatment can be a long one and very
exhausting mentally. 11 days in hospital and he has had 19 finger pricks, 3 operations etc, etc. He is given a string with his name, a good luck charm, and a Koala from the Koala Foundation. He then puts on different colour and shaped beads, each signifying the number of times and types of procedures he has endured. This becomes his "stripes" or badge of honour. He, like other children display them proudly on their pump stands or keep them close by for comfort. The "Beaded Journey" becomes a significant part of their life.1st blood transfusion today........
