Stage 2 coming to an end

We only have about a week to go of the consolidation stage and then we will enter Interim Maintenance. Basically this means the daily oral chemo will  change to intravenous chemo every 10 days and they will ramp the dosage up each time so it will be a more intense phase although she only needs one lumbar puncture. She had an echo cardiogram yesterday to check that her heart is normal and strong enough to cope with this more intensive period.
Celia is still in great spirits although a little feisty at times and Max's face has been scratched on quite a few occasions. She has also reverted back to being a complete scaredy cat at the sound of any loud noise.  I found her screaming in the garden on Thursday and when she eventually calmed down I discovered it was the wind in the trees that had freaked her out. We then went to the park for a bit of tree climbing and she had another screaming episode because a man about a kilometre away was riding a lawn mower. Maybe the MRI thing effected her more than I realised.
 We have a house full of snot and coughs again and Celia is not  escaping this time. It would be typical if the

first week that we don't actually have any procedures, we need to go in for a bad cold! 
With regards to the other two neglected children, Mabel is loving her new (ish!) bouncer/walker  and Max appears to be toilet trained. We bought him a new Lego set last Sunday and told him he could open it when he had 4 straight days of dry pants and next morning he asked to put his Thomas pants on and we haven't had one accident since! I've just tempted fate again, haven't I!?.....
