Thanks so much aimee on the update of Greer, have been thinking of you guys lots, sounds like things are very positive for her. And what a great scheme the NTA is - must be a bit of a relief to have that! How is Hannah holding up through all this?
love and hugs to you guys xox

New update! Saw oncologist today. Plan is to start chemo in 3 weeks, up here at Starship. Treatment lasts about 18 months, all going well. Initially we will spend 3 days in Auckland every three weeks, and the in between weeks will be a day patient at Palmy Hospital. This is for the first 3 months, then our Auck visits spread out to 4 weekly for 3 months. Then for the next year, its up here every 6 weeks! Me and Greer and going to get very used to flying!! 
She is still vomiting regularly with the naso-gastric feeding tube, which is the only thing still holding us here. Tomorrow they are going to put the tube down further beyond the stomach which should help. Then once she is having bottles and eating again we can go home!! Its been over 5 weeks already...
I am excited though, as I get to go and have a haircut tomorrow thanks to Child Cancer Foundation - need to get rid of those stress induced greys!

Wow, I didn't realise treatments went for so long. It must be a bit of a relief to have it all planned out and to know exactly what's happening though.
Fingers crossed the feeding issue can be sorted soon so you can all go home.

Pepsi, I drive myself crazy if I get in the dumps about it all, so its just easier to stay positive! I said to someone the other day that I am waiting to have a big meltdown one day when I stop trying to stay positive all the time... But I think its what we all would do in this situation, self-preservation!

Aimee, I'm so glad things are going reasonably well for you guys! Greer is a  ! And you are totally right about self-preservation - I often think back to Ashleigh's first few months in hospital and wonder how the hell I coped without falling apart. But you just get on with things and cope because...well, you kinda have to lol!! Good on you for staying strong and being such a good mum. I'm sure Greer wouldn't be doing half as well as she is if she didn't have such a great mum! Enjoy your haircut today
