It has really been a year of ups and downs. 2009 did not get off to a good start. Michael had one illnes after another with a number of hospital stays. The very worst being five days on a ventilator on ITU in Alder Hey. I have a new nickname for him, my little rubber ball, he keeps bouncing back. Since then he has improved enormously. He is in good form and has put on some weight.
The down side is his last scan was not good with evidence of a new tumor and regrowth of the old one. His oncologist is looking into treatment options using a new drug so we are waiting to see what comes of that.
In the mean time, we had a great trip to ireland over the whit half term. The highlight for me was Stephen, Sam and Caroline having a singing competition on the X box...priceless.
We are all looking forward to Shirley, Mark and eric coming over at the end of the month. We are planning a trip to Center Parcs in August and another trip over to Ireland with Shirley and Co.
Yesterday was the Race for Life in Birkenhead. It was a great day if somewhat damp towards the end. It was rather emotional reading the reasons for why the women and children were doing the race. lets hope the money can do help with some real progress in fighting this monster.
