Back to reality
After our great but all too brief weekend at home we awoke this morning both feeling a little down.Having said that we both new that this is reality and we won't be going anywhere soon so we needed to snap out of it pretty quickley.Kal went up for some more tutoring today and is going to hospital school tomorrow.He knows he needs to catch up on school work and it's great to see that he's willing to put the work in.All going well he'll be admitted for chemo around lunch time but after going to clinic this morning to find out a time i was told that their may not be beds available.I'd love to know how they work things because there's kids on other wards receiving treatment while other kids on camperdown ward(cancer ward)who aren't receiving treatment and only there because of temperature or infections.Surely those kids can be placed elsewhere while the kids who are due for treatment can it have as planned.One little girl at the house has already been told there's no beds and last time she needed treatment she was turned away 3 times.Fingers crossed he'll get a bed so they can start fluids in preperation for chemo.It'll only go for 4hrs but he'll need to stay on ward till the drug is flushed out of his system.That usually takes a few days.

It was wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed comming home for the wedding, I'm sure the trip home did more good than any medicine. From what I hear, Mark must have been the entertainment for the night, I hope he was well paid as it seems as if he was a great success in providing you with a fun night.
Lots and lots of love

Hi Kal, Hope you get your chemo soon and that your back home soon. Glad you enjoyed Top Gear the other night thats my dad's favourite show, we will have to watch it on tv if they replay the program. Well thats all i will keep in touch Your Friend Samuel
I'm not sure how things are going to pan out but I'm hoping to bring Isaac down to see you on Thursday Kal. Maybe bring Shaylie for the day and Nanny T too. Mark was certainly on a roll at the wedding. Funnily enough, he was extremely quiet on Sunday and didn't surface till 2pm. love Karen X
