On Saturday night, we visited Seth's aunty Dan for the big head shave that she did to raise money for Leukaemia sufferers. The weather was brutal, but even so, many supporters turned up for the event. We have some pictures below to show off her lovely nude nut. This was really special for Seth to see how many people care and what they are willing to do in support of kids like him. The Worlds Greatest Shave has become such a huge deal in Picton as well, with many people, young and old getting involved this year.
Once, again though, Monday came around and we were back to reality once again. Off to the hospital for another blood test and Seth did incredibly well. I think he was really prepared mentally for what was going to happen and he was determined to be brave. His determination paid off and he managed to get through it without much fuss this time at all. This was a huge relief to me as I was feeling just as nervous as he was. He held my hand and squeezed tight and laid very still. The blood came out well this time and it was all over in a matter of 30 seconds. Phew... what a relief. He has developed a rash over his head and face that resembles a milk rash on babies. We found out yesterday that some children get this particular rash when they finish up on the oral chemo, but it looks like he is doing things a bit backwards, and has developed it at the start. As far as we know, it is nothing to worry about and they will keep an eye on it to see what it does. Apart from that, Seth is doing really well at school. He is fitting back in nicely, seems to be keeping up with the workload and is looking forward to his Make a Wish holiday in two weeks time. Peace is descending on our little family at last!!!
