Cycle 8

We are back to PMH tomorrow for Oliver to have his next lot of treatment - as long as his blood work is OK. There's not a whole lot more news to give. We are over our gastro thingy. Oliver's appetite has returned to normal - and will soon get abnormal with the steroids. It appears that the chemo may be affecting his ability to walk properly. He can motor along, but his movement pattern isn't great. Then again, it may be quite normal for someone who is learning to walk.

Karli wants you to know how excited she is about tomorrow - I think I detected a note of sarcasm in her voice.

So, our lives are the normal that they have been for the past 6 months. With any luck, we will keep giving you updates of our little boy's growth and development, and little news about cancer.

This is a lullaby written by Cody Robson. Cody is a very talented musician, but more than that he is a friend, as is his family. He wrote this for our little man.

"Hush now baby don't you cry
You weather the storm so well
It's time for you to dream about
Rainbows and clouds
The choo choo train rolls by

In sleepy land the birds they sing
A night time song for you
The stars and moon will shine on you
The breeze will rock you to sleep

When you awake Mum and Dad
Will be here right by your side."

Thanks Cody.
