For me personally Wednesday was the highlight of the week, as we finally got to meet Richard Burton, the very kind benefactor whose tireless work to raise money for Leukaemia has enabled him to help us financially. When Vicki was first taken ill, Richard's kind generosity enabled me to get Vicki a laptop which helped her stay in touch with her peer group. Listening to his story of why and how he raises money was moving and heart warming. He is without doubt an unsung hero, who deserves many accolades for the effort he puts into fund raising. Mr Burton, I salute you.
Vicki seems very well in herself. Regular visits from the community nurse check her cell counts. She is due for bone marrow and lumber puncture samples to be taken that will allow her consultant to assess the true value of her treatment. This can't be done until her counts are higher, so although we're delighted to be out of hospital, we're a little bit in no man's land at the moment. Fortunately, after a small dip, her counts are rising, albeit very slowly. Just have to patient, a skill I'm slowly learning!
