Welcome 2013......

Well here we are in another new year and the last full year of treatment - yippee!!! Chemo treatment finishes in January 2014 so we are counting down :)

Things have been going along nicely over the Summer.  Toby's health has been great apart from some funny bloods in October/November that showed Toby's liver levels were much higher than normal.  He was tested for a number of things including Hepatitis A, B, C and Parvo Virus (all of which can cause dodgy liver levels), but everything came back negative and his levels returned back to normal after having a 'holiday' from oral chemo tablets for a week.

Toby is now attending Afternoon Kindergarten three times a week and he is absolutely loving it and making some great friends.  I have had to pull him out for a few weeks though at the moment as there is a Chicken Pox outbreak and we don't need that with a trip to Starship coming up in two weeks time!!  Once the Chicken Pox outbreak is over he will be moved to Morning Kindergarten.

Since I last wrote in September 2012 Toby has had two trips to Starship for his routine check-ups and Spinal Chemo (September and December) and has had four trips to Hastings Hospital for check-ups and IV Chemo (October, November, January and February). Those treatments all went well.

Toby is due up in Starship on the 13th /14th March for a check-up and Spinal Chemo.

Toby continues to amaze me the way he just gets on with life despite the fact that some days he must be feeling crap!!!  He is such a lovely little boy - cheeky, sensitive and loving.  I just look at his gorgeous face and my heart melts with love - I absolutely adore him :)
