Day 19 – Tuesday 26 January, 2010
Emily now has 69 Beads of Courage.
Kath and Gary have been looking forward to seeing her personality return for weeks now and at times today glimpses shone through! Her mood however is changing quickly and dramatically. Emily spent some time in the playroom today and has completed 2 of her worksheets.

Hello Kath and family – We live just down the road from you in Rolleston, have some mutual friends, and often say hi at school. We were so sad to hear the news of Emily’s illness, and wanted to send you a message to say we are thinking of you all and sending lots of positive thoughts and best wishes for Emily. I know Steve and Felicity will be a wonderful support to you, they are awesome people! The photo posted today is beautiful – what a brave and inspiring young lady.

Hi Kath, Steve, Sherilyn and Tom and of course you Emily,
Emily we used to be your Nana and Granddad’s neighbours. Those two are very special you know. Get Nana to give you a special smile from us.
Kath and Steve what can we say except that we are thinking of your whole family and we are in Rolleston too, so just ask if there is anything we can do.
