Hi there, sorry it’s been awhile.  The days just seem to blur into one after the other.  It’s been very tiring nursing Sean day and night, and coping with a 9 ½ year old who is getting rid of enough energy!

Thank you so much for the postcards,  We have had so many, the boys are loving it.  If people could put their email address on them that would be great, because we would like to reply in time.  We are going to start a travel book, putting the postcards in, having a section for each country and including maps and interesting and fun facts.  I’d like to use something that we can write in but also have the postcards so we can look at both sides.  Is there anything you could recommend?

Sean and I are sitting in our hospital room with the sun shining in – we are enjoying the warm climate of Auckland!  He is getting impatient with me because I am taking so long with catching up with my emails, he wants to play Zoo Tycoon with me.  He is doing much better, and even walking a little now.  Although we still need the wheelchair as he gets very tired very quickly.

We are looking seriously at coming home and continuing treatment at Wellington.  We have to wait for him to recover from this bout of chemo and get home before his next lot is due.  So that could be later this coming week or early next – we hope.  As soon as we know I will let you know.

Hope you guys are all well, take care. 

Thanks again for the postcards – it’s great fun seeing what will arrive today!
