We still have a few days to go until the end of the month so hopefully I'm not jinxing us but this is the first November in 2 years that he hasn't been in hospital. Drew celebrated his 11th birthday swinging from the trees at Treetops. He did 1 more course than his mother and younger brother and with a lot more ease. He celebrated McHappy Day for lunch (he loves it when it falls on his birthday and it has extra special meaning now) and a BBQ with friends for dinner. The next day was his 2 year anniversary since diagnosis
and he actually managed to get through this weekend without being admitted to hospital. Two weeks after coming home from Sydney last year he got an infection and was back in hospital for a week. He restarted his immunisations after having his immune system checked, they hurt and he cried but he didn't struggle just let the Doctor do what he had to do - unfortunately he has to go back in 4 weeks and then 4 weeks after that again for another 2 each time - after that they are a bit more spaced out, but will take 12 months to complete the whole schedule. The last piece of exciting news - Drew stood for school captain and was named as one of the 4 boys who will be named as Captain, Vice Captain and 2 prefects on the 9 December at Presentation Day. He was pretty excited and Mum had tears in her eyes, so until then......
