Over half a day at Royal Childrens. Blood test, Doctor appointment and the dreaded dressing change on his Hickman line (this gets easier every time). The meeting with his Oncologist generally had a positive vibe to it. His bloods were on the upward trend. His body is starting to recover, producing platelets, and the tiniest upward movement of neutrophils, but not enough for the bone marrow sample operation. This was postponed to next week.
So, the great thing is that we are home until Tuesday when he is booked in again for the bone marrow sample operation, unless his health deteriorates, or his blood tests show otherwise. This will mean that Chemo will start next week, possible Thursday, xmas eve.
We will wait and see.
Had a wonderful night at the Hampton Primary Christmas carols. He caught up with heaps of people and just felt good being there. Everyone was pleased to see him and pleased to see us out and about. All we need is Christmas delayed for a week and we should catch up.....
Good to have him home, though his usual appetite is back and the pestering that comes with it.. All we need is the hair and all is good.

Dear Owen,
Great to hear you are still at home. Hang in there!
Nice looking Christmas tree in your photos, too. Ho ho ho.
Less chocolate at home, of course, but that's a small price to pay.
Stay happy!
