Happy New Year! just a little late!!

Welcome 2013!

Well it is heading towards the end of January already! and I have been noticeably absent for quite some weeks. Sometimes life has to be prioritised and my blog which I love and have no intention of giving up had to take a back seat.
SH started 4 weeks of daily radiation treatment the week before Christmas. Because of public holidays this was spread over 5 weeks and an added bonus of this treatment was that we could come home on the weekends. We finished this on Friday and are so happy to be home. We seemed to be constantly on the road and had to juggle many important happenings during this time. The 'horsey' one got her year 12 results, had her braces off (finally) and left for 12 months in the UK. HS lost his job the week before Christmas due to a downturn in the economy. We celebrated Christmas and the New Year. SH tolerated the treatment really well and continues to have an amazing positive attitude. He has now been given 12 weeks for the body to recover before he has more scans and tests to see the results of the stem cell transplant and radiation. We are so thankful to have this time to return to work and some type of normality , something which is often not appreciated. We plan to take time to be a family and 'smell the roses' ...... I am hoping to implement my 'new years resolutions' and take the time to enjoy my craft, blog and friends.
For all of you that have kept my family in your thoughts and prayers, thank you from the bottom of our hearts xx

It's good to see you back and catch up on all the news. Lovely to hear that DH is coping well with the treatment. Well done to the Horsey One for getting her braces off and finishing school. She is sure to love her time overseas. Sorry to hear that DS lost his job. So many seem to be in that situation. Hope he finds work again soon. Take care of yourself. Hugs.
