Hi Everyone

My name is Jemima but everyone calls me Mima. I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia on 13th June 2007 and had to spend just over 3 weeks in hospital. I have set up this blog so that I can keep in touch with my friends and keep you up to date with what I am doing.

WE DID IT!!! - THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE SUPPORTED JEMIMA INVITES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE HAVE NOW MANAGED TO BEGIN THE RESEARCH WHICH PROFESSOR MARTIN DYER WAS SO DESPERATE TO DO.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!!!!
I AM SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!
Unfortunately, I am going to clinic in the morning for my monthly IV chemo and steroids - great birthday present, thanks very much!!!
Then I am going to school and taking a cake with me to have with all my friends. I am sooooooo excited (did I already tell you that!!!)
Then Daddy and Mummy are going to take me out for tea to my favourite place Zizzi, in Market Harborough (because Emily is going on a sleepover (not fair, I wanted her to be at home on my birthday)).
I don't know how I am going to get to sleep tonight because I am soooooo excited (I think I may have already said that!)
Night Night!!! Next time I update my blog I will be 10!
OK I'M BACK
I feel so much better now and ........................guess what..................I HAVE COMPLETED A FULL WEEK AT SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 14TH JUNE 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!
My toe is healing really well and I don't feel sick, my hair is only coming out a little bit, my ankles don't hurt, my tummy isn't sore, um, is there anything else??? NO because I feel ok!!!
I played in a school netball match on Wednesday and I scored the one and only goal for Stoneygate - yippee! I loved drama this week and Mr Starbuck has asked me to do a solo in the production in the summer, I am sooooooo pleased about that.
If you have nothing to do tomorrow, come along to Ratcliffe College Spring Fair between 11am and 3pm and I will see you there. It is in aid of Jemima Invites and another charity and sounds like it has some really good fun stalls. I have made a cake to sell and Mummy and I are looking after the Jemima Invites table so come and say hello.
Now, don't forget it is Mother's Day on Sunday. I have made something for Mummy but I can't tell you what because she will read this. We are all going to my great auntie Gillie's house to celebrate Mother's Day and alot of birthdays. It is my uncle, great uncle, cousin, granny and my birthday all on Wednesday so we all celebrate together.
BBBYYYEEE! xxx

I still don't feel very well. The doctors gave me some oral antibiotics when I came home from hospital but they have made me so sick that I can't do anything. I am really fed up with feeling poorly now. Mummy spoke to the doctor at hospital yesterday and he said I could stop taking the antibiotics because they were making me so sick. I hope I will begin to feel a bit better today. I have just had a bit of breakfast which is the first time I have eaten in ages. Sorry no colours, but I don't feel like it.

Tuesday 10th March 2009

I am home again now after my LP. My back is a little bit sore but otherwise I am fine. I hope to go to school for a short day tomorrow but we will see in the morning. Night night, I am shattered!!!

Monday 9th March 2009

I just got home 9pm but am going back to hospital tomorrow for a general anaesthetic for a lumber puncture and some chemo into my spine. I don't like this one as it may be what makes me have brain seizures! I have to take 2 different kinds of antibiotics for the next 5 days because I still feel grotty. Night night, I am tired!

SATURDAY 7th March 2009

I am going in to hospital because I have a temperature and feel poorly.

MONDAY 2ND MARCH 2009


My Daddy's Birthday - but I am not going to tell you how old he is!

Where shall I start? I am on steroids and feel yuk. I had my toe operated on last week and that hurts, my ankle is much better though. I had my verucca frozen off last week with liquid nitrogen - ow ow owwww that hurt lots!!! But I was very brave so it didn't hurt to be fair.

The worse thing is that my hair has decided to fall out again and it shouldn't do that so I am not very happy about it at all. It just decided to come out and it is not fair to me to do that.

That's all.
