This is one of the first post's Em's mum Kaz made on this thread started by Maggie

Hi All
I originally posted this in the sydney meeting forum as did not know where else to put it but now thanks to some wonderful help I have a place to post updates and may I again say how much Em and I appreciated all of ss guys and gals support.

"Hi All
Em and I made it to the monthly meet and it was great to catch up with you all. At the time we were waiting for the BIG test to tell us if she was in remission from leukemia. Since there is now no general discussion and I am on so infrequently to know what is what I thought I would let you all know that most devastatingly we have found out that despite the chemo of the past 3 months that she is not in remission. We are temporarily shattered of course and have yet to find out what is ahead of us. As I write she is gravely ill in hospital so need to get back up there.
cheers to all
kaz"

As an update to that post Em is still quite ill in hospital but as of yesterday Tues we now know why she has not been able to keep anything including IV fluid down and why she is in such great pain. It seems for the ultrasound tests that she has such highly inflamed bowel and ulcers from top to toe that the body has been rejecting all but the minimum fluid. Now she is on pca (patient controlled pain relief) and will attempt once the pain is controlled to have some fluid orally, naturally after a week of v*%#^ she is scared to try oral but knows it has to happen.

On the failure to get into remission side we now know that she has to go to theatre when she is better and have another proceedure to allow for more chemo to be delivered. She will be put on high dose chemo (boy am I struggling with that) which will take until the end of this year, then she will be "conditioned" for a cord blood transplant. All being well and no hiccups which is highly unlikely we will be home March 2013. We are still coming to terms with this.

take care all
kaz and em

I may be taking some liberty by posting this on the open part of the forum but will gladly cop the flak if it helps to communicate what we are all contributing to. The above was just some of the beginning, and these two Aussies have been to hell and back just waiting to see if Em would make it this far.

Any little type of donation would go towards a couple of special Silver Stackers knowing that we as a community got behind and supported our own when it matters, so for those who haven' t already chucked in a fiver or ten or OZ (:D ) kaz and Em's way for Christmas to make it a special one for them from us all please do what you can. We may not be a village raising a child but at least we can ease the burden for a couple of our own when and where it matters huh ?

Everybody is doing it hard, especially at this time of year but a little here and there from everybody would all add up to a good little treasure chest for Em especially at this time of year.
Merry Christmas all :)
 
Maggie, if you could pm me your bank details, I will make a donation. Was doing some spring cleaning,& found a 3 year old lotto ticket with a minor prize on it. :D

Yes I am sorry in a way I didn't get Petals Ammo box. Lots to fit in. Must say the Treasure Chest Petal sent is a box perfect for pirates treasure. : ) Nearly all here, just waiting on a few more.

Once the chest is on its way.

Keep it VERY lowkey.

There can be very nasty pirates lurking around.

Shame to see the effots being pilfered by a low life lurking around.
