The VERY VERY good (and a little bad)

Brilliant news yesterday, Abigail is officially in remission! Yes, REMISSION! This means that they can no longer see any cancer cells in her bone marrow sample which, while it doesn't mean she is cured, means that the first round of chemo worked as well as we could have hoped. She will still continue to receive more chemo as planned, but so far so very, very good!

Bad news is that she started chemo again last night and this round hasn't been as smooth. She is quite upset at present and seems to be a bit sore, no longer standing and not really eating/drinking. Seems watching Diego is about the only thing that worked today. However we'll try and get her on some stronger pain meds tomorrow and hopefully this will help. It is likely that she will continue to have good and bad days though, so while unsettling this is again not unexpected. Abs also had a flu shot yesterday so it is also probably causing some trouble, as it seemed to stir the rest of us up when we had ours.

Meanwhile we're packing tomorrow and moving Sat morning. Thankfully Megan liked the house after seeing it today (post-lease signing, phew) so all good. Will be great to live in a nice house with a flat backyard for the girls again. So, very busy but thought I'd quickly pass on the good news. Thanks also for the various presents we've received, all have gone down very well so many thanks to all. It is humbling to see how many people have offered to help her and us out, a positive from all of this mess. However, she is now in remission, so things are heading along the right track.
