Tuesday update

Simone & Carlien
Reach for a dream

Simone started chemotherapy again today. She will undergo a lumber puncture later this week, one next week, and one the week after. If everything goes according to plan she should be able to go home Wednesday/Thursday next week.
She will have to go back to hospital once a week as a day patient for chemotherapy for another three to four weeks.

Carlien from Reach for a Dream visited Simone today, asked her a million and one question and gave her two teddy bears, one for herself and one for Cole.

Cole & Jason

And just to rub it in, remember Simone's team won the rugby Saturday night. Way to go Sharks.

Entertainment for Simone on Monday ... Jason and Cole. Looks like Cole is making good headway into building nice strong muscles in his arms.

An angel to watch over Simone

Simone's room has also received yet another upgrade over the weekend. The little angel flew all the way from East London with Auntie Tracey.
