7, 8, 9 MAY - Pamidronate Treatment

By -
Hello Litle Em,
You had your Pam treatment again this weekend.  It is going much better now that you are allowed out between treatments. 
You were in a different ward this time, sharing with a little boy - 18 months old - who was in for chemo as he has cancer of the kidney.  It is really sad to see some of the children in Parklands and we are so grateful that you are not sick, don't have a disease or a life threatening disorder.
When Mom brought you round to the house, I tied a bandage on your dolly so that you both had a bandage on your head.

My darling Em, I was away for most of this month, walking the Camino to Santiago with Gail.  You know that Jeff had a big operation on his throat and neck last year after being diagnosed with throat cancer.  Afterwards he needed chemo and radiation and Gail cared for him and stayed with him during his treatments.  This meant that they couldn't walk with Gumpy and me in Italy to Rome.  Gail was very disappointed but I promised her that when she was ready, I would walk with her in Italy or Spain.  She chose Spain and on 9th May we flew to Spain to start our Camino. Tammy sent us photos of you while we were away and on your Dad's birthday we spoke to you all on Skype.  We missed all the May birthdays and the birthday dinner. You did your 400m swim while we were away.  We were so proud of you Em!! You had an outing with Mecayla. The mermaid swimsuit I'd ordered for you was  delivered - you look great in it - like a princess mermaid!

There were too many emotional men talking at Gumpie's 80th birthday and Gail and Tammy decided the ladies could do a better job! On 15 June we moved to the cottage in Doone Village.  You all came to help us unpack boxes and on Saturday we had a braai on our unfinished patio.  A few days before you left, the s
