My sister arrived on Tuesday night and the kids have been loving all the attention. Julie came with us to the hospital yesterday which was the start of the next treatment phase (interim maintenance) but as per usual it was a case of arrive at 9am, wait around for 2 hours, see the doctor for 20 minutes then wait around for another 2 hours before they administered the chemo. As I had to collect Max from crèche at 1pm, Julie had to stay with Celia while she got her chemo (it involves a needle prick so Celia in a bit of a state) and I think she was a bit shaken when I went to collect them from the hospital. They warned us that Celia may feel sick later in the day but ironically she was in great form and it was Julie who was violently sick (must have picked up a virus in the hospital). She continued to vomit all night and is recovering now - fingers crossed the rest of us have escaped.
We had a nice winter's day walk on the beach this morning - the sun was out but the wind was very chilly. Not exactly tropical Queensland which is where we should have been on the 8th June - this is the second time we've had to cancel our holiday to Palm Cove as we had booked to go last September but then I got taken into hospital for nearly 3 months and now we can't travel for at least a year due to Celia. We are due one mega holiday next year!
