I've just had a call from a friend who has reminded me that I haven't done a blog!!!
Luke's had a better end to the week than the start. He was still feeling headachy and sick in the stomach at the end of last week into the long weekend. However he is much better this week and has been eating okay again.

Last weekend was a long weekend and on the Monday, Murray's sister Heidi called and said the family was going go-carting. Luke and Amy thought that would be a bit of fun so off we went also. I watched everyone have a good time - the boy's were all very competitive!!

Luke has been getting stuck into some school assessment items. He's got through quite a bit which is good considering how he had been feeling, and considering he's been catching up.

Luke had chemo on Sunday and has had a mini break. He goes back this Sunday for the next dose and unfortunately it is the drug that we think is making him sick. He hasn't had Methotrexate via the central line before (only injected when he has the lumbar puncture) and unfortunately they keep increasing the dosage as this cycle goes on making it more toxic. He's also got a lumbar puncture next week. So we are back to a busy week and fingers crossed his body is used to the chemo again and he won't get sick.

Everyone else is doing okay. Amy got over her cold and luckily no one else has caught it. Murray went to Brisbane for work on Wednesday and got back late last night. He had a good time although the State of Origin results were not in his favour and he found himself in a foreign land!!!!

Have a good weekend.
