Friday, 31 October 2008

Kallan didn't start the day off well. He was vomitting a bit in the morning but came good around lunch time.

Kallan spent the day in the clinic having fluids prior to his next round of Methotrexate. The Methotrexate commenced earlier this evening. He is coping well with it so far.

Darren said that Kallan's hair is getting very thin. As Poppy Robbie would say, all good men are bald, the rest they put hair on!

Not just the proudest Dad God put breath in but the most wonderful man God put breath into Dash!! We love you and are proud of you all. You are doing it Dash and I KNOW Kallan, Karina and Shay appreciate your willingness to be with Kal it must make it hard to leave but knowing you are there makes it just a tad easier. We just so love you all, give each other cuddles from us.
P.S. Kal, all the best for the next round, lets hope it is kind to you. Love you big guy!

I just wish you weren't so far away while all this was going on. You're a great dad Darren - we all look forward to seeing you and Kal tommorrow. Love Karen, Mark, Isaac & Saskia XXXX

Dash - On the day that Kal was diagnosed, I made the comment that you were "the best dad I know" - you just go on confirming that satement everyday. YOU make me so proud to be your mum and I know that Kal along with Karina and Shaylie are in the best of hands. Your lives, along with all of ours has changed forever and I know that we will all get through this together. I love you and once again, I am so proud of the man you have become.
Love Mum.

Hi Dash,
Having known you for as long as I have I always knew you would be a fantastic Dad and husband.

I have cried many times reading this blog seeing what you and your beautiful family are going through.

I know in my heart you will get through this hard time with the courage and strength you have always have.

Love you like a brother Kym

Well - just to blow some more sunshine up your arse Darren.....

I reckon he could easily be a modern day Pied Piper; the way kids attach themselves to him. All his nieces and nephews just idolise him because he just loves kids and delights in playing games with them or making them laugh. Today we got to visit with Darren, Kal, Karina & Shay at the hospital and it seems there is a small fan club going of other sick little ones whose faces light up whenever they see him. It's just lovely to see in a man - and to see sick little children so easily able to break out beaming at the sight of you. You're a treasure Darren. Love Karen, Mark, Isaac & Saskia
