The Apartment....







We moved to our apartment this week. It is perfect for what we need. A one bedroom place in Brier Creek (about 20 mins from hospital, on the fringe of Raleigh). Í'll do pics of inside later, at the moment it's a bombsite. We have been catching up on sleep, what can I say lol?? Hence the no update on the webpage and no recent pics. Oops.

There is a big shopping centre across the road, it has everything we need. It is GREAT to have Brett here, we are all together again, that is one of the best bits of being in the apartment. The other bit is we can cook! After a while eating at a cafeteria, you don't know what a luxury it is to have freshly prepared food and real utensils.

Rocky is very much enjoying the space. It's good for his development too. He has been really well. All the test results are looking good so far. Duke Home Health comes out once a week to do the dressing change on his central line (and help me do it). Except for a couple of outpatient appts every week, we are free agents. Rocky loves looking around at everything, I guess like most kids his age, but it's very special that he can - no longer couped up in the hospital room.

Brett & I will be speaking at the Duke Mini Grand Prix fundraiser this coming Friday night. We have done a bit of stuff like that for RMH as well since we've been here. We try to contribute as much as we can to help with the promotion of these places, as without Duke, Rocky would not be alive. And without RMH, neither would we LOL, ok, we would be but RMH was great.

We have a date of 22nd May for his biopsy. It's likely we'll have to stay a couple of weeks following the biopsy and then home, if it all goes well (which it will!). Hope yáll having a great time, whatever you are up too. Not long now!!

Dear Brett, Amanda and the Rockstar, You all sound so good. We will be praying that we hear nothing but great news on the 22nd of May. I can tell you I know how good a home cooked meal is after living on tinned soup (Mums meals are the best ever). I have to tell you I need my photo fix, I have looked at all the old ones over and over. The place look lovely and to be together as a family unit is fantastic. We send all our love with billions of hugs and kissers(I cannot wait).

Love Aunty Shell, Uncle Lee, Corteney & Brent
