Day 97 – Wednesday 14 April, 2010
Yesterday Emily had a general anaesthetic to have bone marrow taken for testing. Today the doctor rang and said there was zero evidence of neuroblastoma in the bone marrow. More FANTASTIC news! Yet more reason to continue celebrating today.
Kath and Gary would like to say thank you again to everyone for the support they have received by way of meals, gardening, lawn mowing etc. It has freed them up to put more of their energy into reassuring Emily and keeping her spirits up. They cannot imagine how they can begin to express their thanks adequately. THANK YOU
Vanessa & Leona

Dear Emily
I’ve just been looking at your blog and am so excited to hear all the great news about your recent tests.
I love the fact most of that nasty cancer has gone.
I’ve been spending this week with Dad as he’s been on holidays. We’ve been shopping and yesterday we did a treasure hunt in the gardens, it was so much fun. Today I went to Orana Park with my little cousin and got to feed the giraffe. Do you remember when we went with school last year and the duck ate your sandwich…I made sure they didn’t eat mine today.
Take care Em and I can’t wait to see you soon. I hope my pony and Littlest Pet Shop are being good for you…silly me leaving them behind.
Lots of love
Abbey
