Sean’s Journey

or, my life after I got cancer

 

    Sean is six.   He has had many stars for bravery.

This blog lets the universe know of Sean.   It invites you to pray for him.   And it gives information and inspiration to the people who care and to all others who visit.

Catherine has asked me to update blog.

 

Thursday 25th October Sean & Catherine spend the day in Wellington hospital having tests & waiting for Sean’s blood to arrive. Sean got a lovely teddy bear from Pumpkin patch handed out by ex all black (um I forgot his name will have to ask Catherine again)

 

Sean’s blood didn’t arrive but they were allowed home for the night.

 

Friday 26th October

Back to Wellington hospital; - about an hour drive from Paraparaumu. There was blood for Sean so a quick top up & able to go home for weekend.

 

Monday 30th October

Sean needed to be admitted to hospital as after he was given platelets he had an allergic reaction his little eyes all swelled up.

 

Tuesday 31st October

More blood had arrived for Sean but sadly he had an allergic reaction to the blood and came out in a rash.

Catherine was hoping to come home tonight – she had a 6pm hair appointment – she thinks all hospitals could do with hairdressing facilities. When they were in Auckland a niece visited with her tools & all the family got a trim. Other families were asking if they could have a tidy up too!

Mark was left in charge for Cameron to attend his first ever Halloween party that the neighbours had organised. I am not too sure what costume Cameron organised with his dad.

 

Wednesday 1st November

A better day for Sean & they were allowed out to Wellington Zoo  Much to Sean’s delight the keeper walked two Cheetahs on a lead right past them. Cheetahs are Sean’s favourite animals.

The NZ Cancer society dropped in a portable DVD player complete with earmuffs so Catherinee can watch some chick flicks to pass away the time while Sean sleeps.

Please pray for our little boy!

<% PleaseprayforourlittleboyTitle%>

Our Six year old son Sean has cancer. Has an "Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma". And now the disease has spread to his central nervous system.

Sean is a fighter and so is his nine year old brother Cameron. The four of us, Mum, Dad and the two brothers have agreed we're going to fight this thing as a family. We are expecting Sean to make a full recovery. But we have also agreed that we can't win this fight alone. We need the help of Sean's medical team, and we need hundreds and hundreds of people to pray!

So please help us by praying for Sean.

Some days the fighting takes a heavy toll on our family. On those days Sean is too tired to fight, Catherine is drained from the weeks in Hospital, Cameron and Mark feel helpless and don't know what to do to help Sean. But we know that with the help of your prayers we can win this!

Thank you for your prayers

Mark and Catherine Ternent.
