Skip Bo - A Game Enjoyed By People Of All Ages

The younger generation!



The older generation!

Well we are back at the Resort having the first lot of chemo again. We have the same programme which covers five weeks and then back to the beginning. So we are in week 6 but it is really week one. At least we know what we are in for as Harry has been pretty much the same. He hasn't slept quite as much, but the sickness and red cheeks are pretty similar.

Unfortunately this time he has the flu - so has lost his voice for a few days, which is not all that bad, (for me anyway) but he has been put in Room 8 in Isolation. The room is the best room in the resort but not being able to go out the room for Harry is driving him mad. His friend Nicola has just come back in, and Harry thought it would be good if they could share a room, but no such luck as he can't even go in the corridor.

Nanny Shirley is here now, and has been in to see Harry a few times. We have a few of the family visiting and skip bo seems to be the challenge of the week!!

Hoping to go home tomorrow and then planning on staying there for just over 2 weeks. Lots planned so NO time to come back in, so illness and temperatures please stay away.

Harry then has two more weeks of Methotrexate and the Monday before the second round, we will have an MRI scan. This should tell us what the tumour has done, so everyone keep your fingers crossed that the outcome is going to positive. Then Harry will have the surgery, but he doesn't actually want us to tell him when it is until just before, as he doesn't want to think about it. Fair enough, I panicked when I had to have my jaw done and I was only asleep for 45 minutes. Harry will be under for at least 8 hours!! I think I might ask if they can knock me out as well, as it could be the longest 8 hours of my life.

Anyway three positive things for today :

1. The sun is shining.
2. We might be in isolation but we have the best room in the resort.
3. We are hopefully going home tomorrow.

The Camp Quality Fundraiser is pretty much finalised, but if anyone still wants to donate then please get the money in before next Wednesday, 11th. Receipts are slowly being written so if I forget you, please let me know.

Ciao for now.
