Update and Harrison's operation

Hi all - been a loooong time but here's the latest.

Alison is still doing well. Her most recent scans showed some progression in the tumours in her spine and hip but no growth in the liver which is a good thing. She will start some radiation therapy soon to focus on the bone cancers. Otherwise, she looks great.

Harrison had an upgrade to his heart valve last week. For the past week we've been in Sydney at the hospital with him. He travelled up with Alison on Friday 17 June to be checked in and had the operation on Monday 20 June. They got home just tonight.

Everything went well and they managed to get a large valve in which may mean that he won't need another operation to replace it. Great news!

Annelise is doing fine as usual, getting involved in everything and keeping us all entertained.

I'll post some more when we know more about the radiotherapy.

Best wishes to you all and your family and friends.

Update - Feb 2011

Happy new year to all.

Not much new to report. Alison had a scan last week and it came back showing no growth in her tumours so we were very happy.

Kids are settling in well to another year of school.

Harrison is now in Yr 5 and is finishing up his cricket season with about two more games to go. He plays on Friday nights which work out really well as it gives me an excuse to escape from work at a reasonable hour (sort of) and it is just a nice way to end the week.

Annelise is in Yr 4 and crazy as ever. She is now doing a gymnastics/acrobatics type of class on Fridays and is also learning piano.

I started a new job earlier this year with a company called The Nous Group. Absolutely loving it at the moment.

Hope you all are doing well and have a great year. Feel very welcome to post a simple hello or more if you are inclined.
