Strawberry Picking

Holly is doing really well. She is eating brilliantly and is keeping me on my toes as she is constantly hungry. I am hoping that this will mean that the NG tube can come out very soon. Holly is desperate to get rid of it in time to start school, even if this means that she will need to take her meds orally.

We have a very busy week this week and are in Addenbrookes every day except today. Holly has to have a hearing test, MIBG scans and a bone marrow aspirate this week. Next week is an MRI scan. The results of all these are needed before radiotherapy can start.

We decided to take advantage of our only "free" day with a strawberry picking afternoon. The little ones had great fun and Holly couldn't help but be buoyed by their enthusiasm. The strawberries were very few and far between but we had much better luck with the raspberries. Holly filled her basket and has now washed them ready for eating. She is, however, more interested in her chocolate crispy cakes!

I am hoping that she is getting ready for bed now. My little night owl was not impressed when I informed her that it was an early night tonight as we have to leave early tomorrow. Please keep Holly in your thoughts and prayers for good results from all her tests.
