End of second round of chemo - Back at home

The tubes were finally disconnected from Mr Hickman today and I'm now free to move about. Freedom at last! It's great to be home again, and re-discover all my old things. My appetite is still a bit lost, but I hope to find it now that I am at home. If I remain fever-free on Monday, I will see my doctor on Tuesday to check my "counts". My counts are expected to hit rock bottom around mid-week, so I need to be extra careful during this coming week.

I have been really touched by the kind wishes, prayers, and gifts I have received (as well as all the candles you have lit for me, Brigitte). They make me feel like I am taking this journey with many others.

Niklas, your drawing is so nice. I like the colourful flowers and apple tree. I think you are really gifted at drawing, as do my Mummy and Daddy.

A big thank you to the "Uncles and Aunties" from the Economics department at NUS, who sent me a learning cube. Each side has a different puzzle which will keep me occupied for quite some time. I do like a good challenge.

Ethan, thanks for giving me your extra Elmo soft toy. I like to rub my nose against Elmo's nose. Do you do that to your Elmo too?

Sweet Hannah, I know what you mean about teething pain ... my pre-molars have emerged. I find biting into baby pillows very satisfying!
