Thankyou

I haven't yet been able to thank the many people who have helped us out so much on our journey so far. We have been inundated with offers of help, love and support and we are so grateful, blessed and humbled by the response people have given us. We are good for the time being, but when we get home it may be a different story. We will keep you posted as to if you could help us. But, to all those who have helped so far a big, huge thankyou. I hesitate to name people in fear I will forget someone - it's inevitable - but as I said, we have been blown away by people who have been here for us. Thank you Michael & Wendy for the great meals you made for me (I hope your little one's are healthy and happy) and the beautiful card and balloons - they are still inflated; thankyou also to Holly and Phil for the food they prepared, and to Mr & Mrs V (Hank & Helen) for dropping it off and letting us see there lovely faces - it had been too long; thankyou to our parents for their gifts and food, and hugs and chats, and calls and messages, and to Greg for the internet access; thankyou to Narelle for the food for Karli and the flowers and balloons and constant messages; thankyou to my clients at the gym for their understanding and support; thankyou to Mike & mandy for the Eagles bear and dropping in after the game - sorry about your trip to Walpole; thankyou to Jarrad and Aimee for flying back from the UK to support us - you didn't have to but it means a lot; thankyou to Sue for the meals too, and we will be calling on your hairdressing skills before our little boy loses any; thanks to Charmaine for dropping in and being a slightly removed, but more than understanding ear and extremely useful source of information and inspiration; thankyou Susie for taking karli out for coffee and for the gifts for us all; thankyou Trent & Michelle, for being here when we needed you, and leaving when we didn't have time or energy; to Burke, Zoe, Kaz, Susie, AJ, Travis, Arena, Matt, Tif, Pez and Alex, thanks for looking after my clients and the gym; thankyou Mel for the gifts and our little boy's special quilt; thankyou to the individuals and churches who are praying for us; there are others, and I will remember.

A big thankyou to the staff here at the hospital. The consultants, doctors, fantastic nurses, administration staff, cleaning staff, kitchen staff, orderlies, surgeons, anaesthetists, post-operative care nurses, ambo's, radiologists, phlebotomist's, immunologists, haemotologists, pharmacists, and countless others who have been involved in Oliver's, and our, care. And also to Dr Lindsay Adams, the paediatrician who so quickly got Oliver into hospital.

To anyone I have forgotten, Thankyou.
