It's been a long time since we've updated the blog. I'll quickly explain what's happened over the last 18 or so months then I'll update you on the present situation.<br>
<br>
Ellie's 18 month chemo treatment went very well. We really couldn't have asked for better.<br>
Ellie didn't miss any of the treatment schedule. There was plenty of sickness, hair loss/thinning, blood transfusions, school missed and tears but she coped very well. Finally on October 8th 2013 Ellie was given her final dose of chemo.<br>
<br>
Since then there's been holidays in Italy, New York, had a fantastic Christmas and lots of smiles.<br>
We've had one positive MRI scan but unfortunately just over a year after chemo finished we got a call from Ellie's oncologist to say that the tumour is active and action must be taken.<br>
Following a discussion with Dr. Capra we have decided on a 12 month chemo treatment schedule beginning very shortly.<br>
<br>
To say we are gutted by the news is an understatement, we are devastated.<br>
<br>
We would like to thank everybody for their support during Ellie's first chemo schedule. A special thank you to Make A Wish Foundation and Aoibheanns Pink Tie.<br>
<br>
Back shortly with updates of treatment.<br>

The time has flew by, wont happen again......promise.<br />
<br />
Ellie is doing just great at the moment. We still have the weekly visits to Our Ladys, Ellie's treatment day is Tuesday at the moment.<br />
<br />
She is on a three week break from chemo at the moment so its just weekly bloods and dressings for the next couple of weeks. We do have a big week in mid April, Ellie has an important MRI followed the next day by chemo. Hopefully the results from the MRI are positive.<br />
<br />
Ellie was one full year into treatment last week, so just six more months to go.<br />
<br />
We have a new addition to the family..............we got Gus a few weeks ago. Gus is a Pug and he is five months old at the moment.<br />
<br />
We also had the St. Patricks Day parade recently......Ellie, Sophie(Ellies cus) and daddy took part in the parade with Celbridge Boxing Club. We had a great day and thankfully it didnt rain.<br />
<br />
Anyway talk soon, we gota go and watch Two and a Half Men....quality daughter and daddy time :-)<br />
<br />
Heres a few recent photographs...... <3 love ellie<br />

Santa was very generous to Ellie this year. She got lots of Moshi Monster things, a digital camera, Harumicka, a portable DVD player and a number of DVDs. <br />
<br />
Ellie received many Christmas cards and presents from many different parts of the world, there are to many to single out so we would like to thank everybody that took the time to send Ellie a card or a present.<br />
<br />
Ellie is in great form at the moment and is feeling very well. She is spending her days and evenings colouring her Moshi Monster colouring book.<br />
<br />
The Dixon family would like to wish all our friends and family a Healthy and Happy New Year.<br />
<br />
We will return to you in 2013 and leave you with some recent photos of Ellie.<br />

Still over two weeks to go but that Christmas feeling is in Crumlin Hospital and its lifting the sick childrens spirits. This weekend will be very busy for Ellie, on Saturday she is taking to the skies from Dublin airport along with dad and other children that attend Crumlin Hospital. I reckon the man in the big red suit will also be on the plane giving presents to the children. Should be great fun.<br>
<br>
Then on Sunday she has the St. Johns Ward Christmas party, lots of celebs, pressies, fun and games.<br>
This is with thanks to the wonderful staff on the ward. Not only do they work very hard while in the hospital looking after sick children, they give up their own time to prepare this event and ensure that every child in attendance enjoys the party this Sunday.<br>
<br>
Chemo: Ellie is in the middle of chemo treatment at the moment but will have the Christmas and New Year Holidays free of chemotherapy. That certainly is good news and something to be thankful for.<br>
<br>
We will post a few photos over the Christmas.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI8ccXLIc7wfa7Mm20R8A3u5MYOrqhJ52UB9Lo2jMZgdHONXs1KtIZIIasGx9PsaZ8KAy9vO8TL5iiSBV7tYmYpDVHwbbQNMxFecOoNytXKMHRlGkir57F20EbSkvOAH_TmkrCWV7fKhFO/s640/blogger-image-549596552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI8ccXLIc7wfa7Mm20R8A3u5MYOrqhJ52UB9Lo2jMZgdHONXs1KtIZIIasGx9PsaZ8KAy9vO8TL5iiSBV7tYmYpDVHwbbQNMxFecOoNytXKMHRlGkir57F20EbSkvOAH_TmkrCWV7fKhFO/s640/blogger-image-549596552.jpg"></a></div>Suzanne Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09521048888455421327noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823460757722627894.post-46657647181297171542012-11-01T12:02:00.001-07:002012-11-01T12:02:50.751-07:00HalloweenEllie had a fantastic halloween.

<br />
Ellie is doing great and is currently on a three week chemo break. Three weeks of chemo begins next Tuesday but Ellie is in good form at the moment and is ready for it.<br />
<br />
Ellie had a blood transfusion two weeks ago as her blood stats were very low. All is well now, and a huge thank you to all the men and women that take the time to give blood. It really does help sick children and adults, and in some cases it can save lives.<br />
<br />
School is going well at the moment and Ellie is attending school most days (bar the week of the blood transfusion).<br />
<br />
We just had a look at the calendar this week and noticed that all going well Ellie will be on a break from chemo during the Christmas and New Years holidays. She will still need to attend weekly but no chemo.<br />
Happy days!!!!!<br />
<br />
Will sign off for now, talk soon.<br />
Here are some pics of Ellie recently.<br />

Ellie will be 9 years old on Monday the 17th of September.<br />
We had a lot of Ellies friends over to help us celebrate on Saturday afternoon. We had lots of sweets, cake, pizza and hot dogs.<br />
We organised Little Miss Party Nails for the girls, Jacqui and Elaine kept the girls entertained by doing lots of lovely nail art, tattoos and jewellery making.<br />
<br />
Ellie started maintenance chemo last Tuesday September 11th, all went well and without any sickness.<br />
Her chemo sessions will be three weeks on then three weeks break and so on till September 2013.<br />
<br />
A big thank you to everybody that has sent get well cards, birthday cards and presents to Ellie recently.<br />
They have lifted Ellies spirits and put a smile on her face.<br />
<br />
Talk soon.<br />

Growth in the tumor has stalled and there may even be a very slight decrease in the size of it.<br />
This is the best news we could have got, Ellie has gone through a lot these last few months and although this doesn't shorten the course of chemo. It means that we can plough into the next 12 months and a positive result is more likely after this MRI.<br />
<br />
Ellie is back in the hospital for chemo tomorrow, she begins a twelve month period of three weeks of chemo followed by three weeks off and so on.<br />
<br />
Thank you to everybody for their prayers and well wishes recently.<br />
<br />
Here is a photo of Ellie in her school uniform with a little teddy bear.<br />
The teddy bear was made by daddys friend Breege, thank you so much Breege.<br />

Two visits to hospital this week, bloods and dressings on Monday the Chemo on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Tuesday was a very long day in the hospital. Ellie took a bit of a turn from the anti sickness medicine she got in Our Ladies.<br />
She is doing a bit better now but is still a little out of sorts.<br />
Three or so weeks till her first MRI since Chemo began, hopefully the results will be positive.<br />
<br />
Tuesday was one of the more somber days in Our Ladies Hospital, lots of very sick children in the ward that day. More than usual I thought and there was no Clown Doctors or Magicians walking the ward to make us smile. Hopefully they will be back to brighten every bodies day as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Ellies birthday next month and she has asked for a bicycle as she finally learnt how to cycle a bike without stabilisers. Mam and dad will be bringing Ellie out to choose the right bike soon and something tells me its probably going to be pink in colour.<br />
<br />
Once again thank you to everybody for the lovely cards and letters, and also for your continued support throughout this journey.<br />
<br />
Talk next week.<br />
<br />

Ellie just had bloods and dressing change this week so nothing out of the ordinary to report this week.<br />
<br />
Ellie is in good spirits but seems to be getting very tired these evenings. She's been first to bed a lot this week which is not like her.<br />
<br />
The hospital have put in place a new schedule for our weekly treatments which will see us having to spend extra time in the hospital.<br />
<br />
Ellies hair is beginning to grow back on top ever so slightly.<br />
Here is a photo of Ellie sitting on a very unusual looking bench in Donacomper Cemetery in Celbridge.<br />
Ellie and daddy often go there to pay our respects.<br />

Ellie was very unwell after chemo last week and had to go back into hospital. She spent the night on St. Johns Ward and 24 hours later she was much better thankfully.<br />
On the upside Ellie got to see the magic show before she left the hospital, Ellie and the other children laughed so much their stomachs were sore.<br />
<br />
To the staff on the ward and Mr. Magic a big thank you.<br />
Laughter is a fantastic medicine.<br />
<br />
Thankfully Ellie has just begun another short break so this week was just bloods and dressings, blood results were good.<br />
<br />
We are looking forward to another three weeks chemo free and hopefully Ellie can put on a few pounds.<br />
<br />
Thank you to everybody that has sent cards and well wishes. A special thank you to the ladies that made beautiful handmade cards.Below is a picture of just some of the hand made cards Ellie received.<br />
<br />
We also got to see the Lorax 3D last weekend.<br />
A great movie with plenty of laughs.<br />
