Exactly two years ago today Alice was given her first life saving Blood Transfusion and today?
Today we are clearing up and sorting out for Christmas, we are are recovering from 5 days on steroids and her monthly vincristie but also her 5th Birthday party with two of her cousins and four friends from her class at school.
There are times when we are reminded what Alice has been through, like when she asked her Dad why she hadn't been 3, 'Numbers go 1,2,3,4,5. I'm 4, I'm going to be 5 but why wasn't I 3?'
or ' I've got a sore throat, like when the tube is in'
or when we watch programmes like Children in Need ' That little girl has got cancer, I got cancer but I'm not going to die like her'
But mostly today we are getting ready to go to Lapland to visit Santa with a very special charity called Wish Upon a Star. This will be followed by our normal hospital appointment. When we get home this time we are looking forward to the school concert, Family Birthdays, Christmas, the New Year and finishing treatment!
