Treatment Begins for Eli

Hi everyone.
Sorry it has taken me a little while to update the blog. I havents had the oppertunity to chat with Jodes over the phone in awhile, however we have been in contact via sms. Eli began his chemotherapy today. (Saturday 8th). He had a surgical procedure yesterday where a hickman's line was put in place in preparation for chemo. As to be expected he was a little sore and still is today. It was up in the air for a few day's in respect to the tummy tests Eli had done on wednesday, the drs suspected that it was allergic collitis, which meant that Jodes would have to stop feeding Eli and feed him a lactose intolerance formula, however results Friday indicated that it was in fact leukaemia cells in his tummy. So the fortunate news is that Jodes can continue to breastfeed Eli. So as chemotherapy continues over the next week, i will try my hardest to update and fill you in on there progress.
Last night The Entertainment Centre held a shave for a cure function in aid of raising funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. The night was a huge success, with lot's of money raised, and many new bald heads around. The total raised is not yet known, but it looked to be exceeding $2500.
I will keep in touch
