Ended up Emily didnt start her chemo last week, as her neutrophils ( cells that fight infection) were too low, they needed to be 1 before you can start chemo and hers were 0.5, went in for bloods today and they 0.8, so another test tomorrow and all going well, Emi should start on Monday morning.
The canterbury rugby team came to ronald mcdonald house on thursday and cooked everyone breakfast, Emily was fasting as she had to have a bone marrow sample, (that why she looks unimpressed...or it it because she would rather have seen otago players?....) anyway the food was great, a big thankyou to them.
Sarah Nolan, Cassidy and Nikita, S. Rusch, K J Harihari, Asha Norman, Ashton Lahood, Mark Jackson, McDowel family, Grae family and Sheree Honan, thankyou all so much for your support.
Emily is doing really well at the moment and started putting weight back on, so in a way it is good that the chemo has been postponed a wee bit so she is more prepaired. For the meantime we will keep on making the most of the nice weather and enjoy the walks and picnics in the park.
