Today as part of training we had a talk from Emma, a survivor of cancer, a mum, wife and probably many other things too! It sounded so familiar as this young woman discussed things such as low immunity, neutrophils and various chemotherapy drugs. Emma's character reminded me so much of Catherine today - bubbly and outgoing - and some of the things she spoke about resonated with our own experiences. Thankyou, Emma, for being courageous enough to share your experiences with us.
The results of Catherine's blood tests came through today, and we were so pleased because her netrophils are high enough, and her immunity is good enough, for her to go on her 'school trip' to the zoo tomorrow. She is so excited. Tonight she prayed that it would not rain so they would all be able to go. We also bought her a T-Shirt with a monkey on it. Catherine is going to wear it tomorrow and has christened it her 'zoo T-Shirt'!
As we put her to bed this evening, she suddenly said 'Daddy, why did Jesus have to die?'. All I can say is that I am pleased she asked Mark - I was quite happy to leave the discussion about Jesus dying for our sins to him this evening.
