Postcards can just be sent to our new post box – The Ternents, PO Box 1702, Paraparaumu Beach, 5032.

I’ve got all the postcards in dividers inside a folder at the moment, just to keep them sorted by country until I can get organized properly – we have quite a few!  The boys are really enjoying receiving mail.  And seeing what country will arrive today! 

So good being home, and Wellington hospital is turning out to be a very good choice – some things already being done better than Auckland.  Even though in Starship it is a dedicated kids oncology ward – it is overflowing and you often get put in other wards because there’s no room in oncology, unless you are really sick or neutropenic (no white cells) you end up in a 4 bed room with snoring dads, puking kids etc etc.   We have our own room here and the continuity of care is far better.   And this is all due to the smaller population and the fact that they can accommodate us more down here.  The Staff in Starship were wonderful, but just so busy.  We’ve also had visits from doctors and nurses who helped out with Sean when he first went into Wellington hospital, and they’ve heard he’s back and are very pleased to have him back and have been in to say hi!  Even had hugs from a couple – including one of the doctors – pity I’m married!!!

Anyway thanks so much for your support  – we are very lucky to have so many great people out there.  

Love Catherine
