Emily's Journey

Emily's journey started on Friday 8 January, 2010 where it was discovered that after some time of being unwell, her body has actually been fighting cancer. This site is dedicated to those who want to encourage her through this journey.

Day 104 – Wednesday 21 April, 2010

Filed under: Emily Update — Vanessa Palmer at 6:52 pm on Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Emily spent two and a half hours at school today. She loved doing the school work and socialising with her friends again. Kath is trying to give Emily as many ‘normal’ experiences as possible before the dreaded ‘high dose’ chemotherapy that is ahead of her in the coming weeks.  The high dose therapy will mean she is hospital (bedridden) for several weeks. This will be very traumatic for the whole family, but Emily is strong and will get through it!  Again, specific info regarding the upcoming treatments will be explained closer to the time.

Kath says, “Thanks to everyone again for all your support”.

Hi Emily and Kath

I was so pleased to see you both at school today. You were looking really good Emily. So was Mum.
I loved the blanket that room 7 had made with Mrs Chambers help. It will be something to snuggle up to while having your high dose therapy. I am sure Alicia enjoyed having someone else to read with her today. You are both such great wee readers.

It was great having the shining star (Emily) back at school.
Bye for now and good luck over the next few weeks.
Love Mrs Taylor
