Chemo 3: Day 5

Things are starting to pick up from here.

Ali seems to be over the worst of the nausea and she is still tired but doesn't need to sleep all day. Although she certainly would if she could and she is far from feeling 'normal'.

She didn't have a good night sleep on Thursday but that was because of cats and possums rather than anything specifically to do with the chemotherapy. I'm still not 100% so I had been shunted off to the spare room which meant that I didn't hear any of the late night commotions and had a great night's sleep.

Big soccer gala day for Harrison this weekend, last games for this year. Annelise gets registered for Little Athletics; we'll see if that can take some of the edge off her seemingly boundless energy levels.

Take care everyone and go the Wallabies! (Harry & I are very glad we don't have to wake up in the early hours of the morning to watch Saturday night's Test match.)

Hey there

Hope the soccer day went well - we also spent the morning at soccer - and I got sunburnt!!! Only a bit but I have just enjoyed this gorgeous weather so much. Have a great weekend.

Emma wants Annelise to know that she is doing Little Athletics this year too.
We are waiting for the uniform to arrive but have seen a preview... beautiful fluro orange singlet and black scungies. We are letting Emma wear shorts because the thought of running around in undies was way too embarrassing!

Hi, you don't know me - but I am Chris Millott's wife. He grew up with Alison and we received word on all of this from his parents in Helensburgh. Just wanted you to know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers! We will have our eyes on what is going on now - thank you for sharing. And to let you know - we have a bigger contingent here in New York who are sending well wishes.
