Hello again! Thanks so much for a fantastic day yesterday at church with Lucy's baptism and a pot luck lunch afterwards. We were so encouraged to see so many people there, keen to support us all and pray with us for Lucy as we celebrated the victory Jesus won for her in his death and resurrection (as well as reaching her first birthday)! Photos will come soon - my sister in law was on the job yesterday but we haven't got them just yet, and I seem to have mislaid our camera somewhere....

Today we are back at the hospital for the next round of chemo. Lucy's blood test this morning showed a big jump in all her counts (except haemoglobin which was just a little bit up), so she was pronounced fit for more chemo. She had a small procedure this morning under general anaesthetic, where some chemo was injected into her spinal fluid via a lumbar puncture. She was a bit disoriented and distressed on coming out of the anaesthetic which may mean she came out of it a bit fast, which was a bit sad. She didn't seem to even recognise me for a while but when she calmed down and had some breakfast she came back to her old self again. We're now waiting to go up to the ward, and Lucy is having a snooze in the pram. Hopefully we wont have to spend the whole day here. I find it a bit overwhelming in the oncology clinic sometimes. Also hoping for a single room this time...



Anyway, thanks again for yesterday, and for your continued love and support and interest even if you weren't able to come. We appreciate you all very much.
