Back To Reality...

yes, it had to happen! One cannot, unfortunately, be on holiday permanently.

We are back safely (thank you God!) and soundly. We had an absolute BALL on our holiday, Rocky stayed well, had plenty of laughs and fun with Aunty PC and Uncle Pete and familyin beautiful Canada (the best part of the trip!) , Brett and I loved NYC and Hollywood on the way home was a real hoot!

We've been so busy since we arrived back, just routine hospital appts and Rocky has started a couple of classes ...a music class and some sport. We still have to be careful and Dr Markert said we can do the full on day care thing once his B Cell testing is complete (we hope by Jan). Rocky hasn't had an antibody transfusion (IVIg) since September. All part of the plan. He seems to be doing okay. It's so cool now - although we proceed with caution! - to let him out to play at the hospital and paint and draw with the other kids waiting in outpatients. It may not sound that exciting, but I still get a buzz just to watch him do that. Yesterday he was sitting, painting with some girls and he wanted them desperately to pay attention to his drawing, he kept making lots of noise to get them to do so, but they were playing hard to get LOL...but it didn't deter him. I like his spirit. I once read persistence counts for about 99% of success...if that is the case I think he will be very successful.

The weather here is hot and so we have also had a trip to the beach, the backyard pool, but unpacking my suitcase still hasn't received any kind of priority, except for clothes to be put out on the bed during the day, only to be put back in the suitcase at night with a promise "I'll do it tomorrow". It's good to be ambitious.

Hope this finds you fantastic! xoxox
