Well nearly anyhow! It's finally December and time to think about Christmas already. As "unusual" as this year has been, I can't believe we're here already, and can't believe the year we've had. Still undecided as to whether it was a horrific year, or a wonderful one!The optimist in me will call it wonderful I guess?! And besides, onwards and upwards to Christmas........
I've started Christmas shopping, kids have given us a surprisingly short list each, and I'm not convinced Iwan realises he can more than one gift, so he'll be quite happy with the safari park he wants then ;) Tree isn't up yet, but we've neglected the Sunday Roast of late as my Mam has started a new job that involves her working on a Sunday. However, she's off this weekend, so we will put the decorations up whilst Nain and Taid are here to help ;) I have also tried to think of a good alternative to going out to a grotto to see the big fella himself, and my friend recommended a website where you can get personalised video messages, so will show them that on sunday too =)
Health wise, Cerys is doing grand, still looking better (you wouldn't believe the hair now! it's beautiful!) and gaining weight. She still has the overnight feed, but there is a drastic changein her appetite, and she's grazing more or less all day long. Costing me a fortune, and I'm forver making a sarnie or warming up some soup, but it's so worth it to see her looking so well, and enjoying to eat once again =) The consultants have decided she's doing so well in fact, that they've reduced her dose of anti-rejection. This has meant that we've had a little bit of skin problem because of the graft-versus-host peeping through, but this is a gradual reaction we were hoping for, to hopefully prevent the Big-L coming back, to zap it once and for all!!! She's not at all bothered by it though, and is going from strength to strength. Iwan is also doing good, completely out of nappies, so no more babies in this house!! He's even trying to pinch her DS which causes arguements, but it's all good =)
That's about it for now, I'm aware I don't want to bore people with too many pics or stories of craft activity, our schedule is pretty repetative at the moment,but once the anti-rejection has finished, that should be more relaxed apparently. huge congratulations to our good friend Abbi, who's chimerism results came back as 100% donor - just the news we wanted!
Huge hugs and cuddles to everyone, speak soon x
