Hi all,
sorry ive been a little scarce lately, life has just been so unbelievably busy!!! Ash is continuing to do well although we have had a couple of admissions in the last 2 months just for temps and to receive IV anti's til negative cultures come back for line infections/meningicoccal etc!!!
On the home front 8 days ago on the 28th of January we welcomed our 5th child into our family - a little boy named Oliver (Ollie). Unfortunately i ended up having an emergency c-section so recovery is a little slow and it also meant that i had to stay i hospital a little longer than a normal delivery so for the very first time ever Ashley's dad had to take Ashley to have his solaris infusion without me there, i felt horrible not being there for him, but everyone managed to survive!!!
i had better get back to all the kids, i will try and make more time to check in a bit more often!!!

Hi Kerri, apologies but I tried to respond to your email introducing yourself, but it appears that my reply email went into the Bermuda triangle of the Internet world. I've just tried to add you as a friend so I can send you messages. Would be good to swap stories. Jeremy is being treated at Monash Medical so we are not at the same hospital. Hope to chat with you soon. Cheers, Michele
