Bye Bye CHOC


We left CHOC on 19 June and came home.  It was kind of sad leaving everyone behind but it was also very cool that James gets to go home after such a long time being away.  James has finished all of his intensive chemotherapy and will start maintenance once his blood counts come up.  Because James has had very intensive treatments his bone  marrow is very tired and his bloods have been slow to recover.

He was supposed to start maintenance on 21 May so since then we have been waiting and once his bloods were on the up we left Christchurch and came home.  Before we left James had his last IT and a bone marrow biopsy which shows that he is still in remission!!  We said goodbye to all our amazing nurses and Doctors and took a few photos so we can remember them as James will not need to go back to Christchurch unless he gets sick again.

Happy Birthday James


It has been nearly 7 months since James Leukemia diagnosis and on the 30 May he turned 11 years old.  We were hoping to get home for his birthday but that was not meant to be.  James blood results are a bit up and down which is stopping him from starting maintenance treatment and going home.  He had a nice day though - he had a banana cake which he asked for, a visit from Johnson from What now, and a few prezzies.

Check out some of the pics.
