Rachel and Isla sent me this balloon to cheer me up and it really worked - thank you very much!Stitches Out!
O.M.G! I was so anxious but it all went well and I was home that night with steri strips and a bandage on my arm feeling very sorry for myself! My nurse Julie had a good look at it on Tuesday and she was very happy that all the wounds were healing nicely and there is no sign of infection. Yippeeeee! I am really proud of myself because last night I took the bandage off and slept with nothing on it at all. Today I am going to school with nothing on it so wish me luck!!!
I have not had any chemo for two weeks because when I cut my arm I lost a lot of blood and my hb and neutrophils dropped alot and the chemo makes them low too so Dr Madi decided it was best not to have it for a while or until my bloods are better. This week the hb is climbing again but my neutrophils are still quite low - 0.6, so no chemo again. It is quite good actually because I have to take the chemo after my evening meal and at least an hour after milky things and I really like to have a glass of milk before bed so usually Mummy has to wake me up when she goes to bed and I don't like to take pills when I am sleepy.
I am so excited today because we have our school disco this afternoon. I am wearing my new Ted Baker dress and Mummy bought me some purple sparkly nail varnish after I had my stitches out because I was so brave so I have painted my nails too. I can't wait!!!
Ems is singing in a concert tonight at Oakham so we are all going to watch her. I hope she sings well! Then on Sunday I have a birthday party to go to which is a Mamma Mia party and I llllllooooovvvvveeee Mamma Mia. I'll tell you all about it next week.
We decided this week that if I hadn't had seizures, broken my arm or put my other arm through the window that actually I would have been quite fine with just Leukaemia so far! Better be careful for the next year and then I will be able to ride and swim and run and dance and play and everything else I miss with my friends.
Oh yes, just remembered........................... clinic on Wednesday for vin and christine and yuk yuk yuk steroids for 5 days. At least it will be over for Christmas!

Hi Mima! Hope school went ok today with your 'bare' arm - have you got a scar? I think you've been really brave with the whole arm thing - I'm a complete wimp when it comes to pain. Perhaps you think twice before posting it through the door lol??
Have fun at your school disco it sounds fantastic and Emily's concert too - wow you are busy hope you enjoy yourself and 'break a leg' to Emily but not literally obviously because you don't need any more breakages in your house. I think you have all had your share of hospitals. Try not to think about your steroids because you have lots of time to have fun before that comes round again. Hopefully then time you are on your steroids will go quickly and then you can have a fab Christmas. Thinking of you and sorry for writing another essay again! Lots of love Kathryn xXx P.S. I found out something really amazing the other day - I know someone who knows Max!! How weird is that :-P x
Mima, you have been SO brave with your arm, not to mention your other troubles, so I hope you are feeling fine and have a fantastic time at the mamma Mia party. (I've got some purple sparkly nail varnish too only my nails are too short to wear it at the moment.)
The steroids must be yukky, but you have Christmas to look forward to, and presents and lights and the tree etc. Look after yourself and try not to attack any more doors!

Glad to hear your arm is getting better without further trouble just TAKE CARE.You are such a busy person.
Christmas will be here so very soon and there's so much to look forward to.I've lived in SA for so long but have never really become accustomed to the hot Christmas.It's very hot here at the moment. Yesterday it was 33 degrees.I've heard that its been very cold recently in the UK.
Hope you enjoy the Mama Mia party. I'm sure will.
Lots of love
Sue
Mima, Well done for being brave whilst they took the stiches out, and really well done for recognizing the need to take it easy!!! You might just be one of the only kids in the world who gets told to spend more time on the computer by your parents!!! Lots of love Uncle Simon xxxx
