An update at last



Wow so much time has passed since my last post mainly because I've just been too ill but now I am beginning to get some strength back. I am starting to do everyday things again. The external radiation and peg tube really hit me hard. To date I have lost about 40lbs and now have no hair but I kind of like the lack of hair and not having to worry about cutting and styling!

For the last three weeks of treatment I was so sick I was admitted to hospital. This was incredibly tough on Andy and Eoin as the hospital was an hour away from home. I am forever grateful to our Nanny Miss Ashley for helping us through those weeks and to our friends who drove and visited througout the whole treatment.


I'm happy to say life continued on while I was ill. Eoin really enjoyed our block party and his time with Daddy. He also started preschool and is loving it. He surprised us last night by reciting all the months of the year in order! Eoin is super into numbers right now and has tons of fun asking Daddy to add up big numbers in his head. While still very active Eoin is also beginning to sit and do tasks that take time and concentration. In fact the other day when I asked him if he was ok because he was very quiet he told me ssh I'm concentrating.


So what now in life. We are going to try and get a normal routine going. I'm not sure right now when my next scan and/or treatment will be but we hoping for a break until the New Year.
