Feb 2015

Ellies is doing great these days. 

As Ellie cannot continue her swimming classes she has recently joined a local Hip Hop group. She really enjoys it and has made a few new friends. 

We recently had a visit from Faith, Merv and Karen all the way from Virginia. We had a lovely weekend walking around Dublin City, Ellie and Faith got on brilliantly.

Christmas 2014

This Christmas has been very low key. Lots of days spent in hospitals with Nanny May and Ellie. Thankfully its almost over and we can get back to normal. Nanny May finally came around and it looks like she will make a full recovery from her fall and Ellie is doing well on chemo. Here's to 2015, Happy New Year to you all x x x

Doing great

All is going really well for Ellie right now. Ellie couldnt have chemo last week because of bloods but was ok for it this week. Weight right now is 29.2 kg, a couple of kilos down from the starting weight but nothing to worry about. 

Ellies Nanny May is in hospital at the moment after having a bad fall. Lots of prayers for May right now.
