Day 93 – Saturday 10 April, 2010
Emily is back home after 17 hectic nights in hospital recovering from the infection she had in her bowel. They are very happy to be home!
Yesterday Emily had a staging scan to assess the size of the tumor. The results will indicate whether the tumor is small enough to be removed or whether further chemo is required beforehand. Emily managed to keep still without any sedation for an hour and a half during the scan – what a legend! The day before the scan, Emily had to have a radioactive dye injected to highlight the neuroblastoma cells in her body. She was anxious for days prior to this but coped very well. We will update the blog with any results in due course.

Hi Em
We loved coming out to see you today. Thank you for my birthday present, and I really hope you are able to come to my party next weekend. It was fun to see you all again at home, instead of at hospital. Thanks for asking for the happy meal- we thought it was yummy too!
Love Jaime and Lala

Dear Katherine, Gary, Emily, Jack, Charlotte & bub
We have been keeping a check on Em’s progress on the blog and wish there was somehow we could make this all better. You are a very strong and lovely family.
To Em:
What a brave little trooper you are. You are doing such a good job of dealing with your treatments. We are glad you are back home. That must feel great.
Keep up the good work.
All our love and hugs

Hey guys
So pleased to hear that you finally get some home time. Wow Em an hour and a half staying still. I know I couldn’t do that and I am really sure Willow couldn’t stay still for 5 minutes let alone that long. Would love to catch up soon but Willows had a temp so will stay away for a while longer
Lots of love
Julia and Willow
