New Status

The wonderful thing about children is their ability to move on. Within minutes of last week's trauma Isabella was ready for Italian classes. Children also forgive and forget very quickly. She made a special request for one of the nurses this morning who had failed to access her port last week. He is a lovely nurse and does a great job each week, but was a little anxious when he arrived in the room today. There were several other nurses present ready to do the port access dance - no need, straight in. What a relief. ANC even higher this week, full dose of chemo administered and we were out of the clinic within record breaking time and back at school in time for lunch. Three down and one to go for this cycle.

The best news this week is our new status, Isabella and Matilde have become cousins. Gregorio stopped in London over the week-end and had a stern talking to Florence's belly, unfortunately he didn't get to meet his nephew. However, we are all extremely happy at the safe arrival of Björn Elio on Monday, a whopping 9 lbs and 23 inches long. The family are all settling in at home today and we look forward to meeting him soon.

Lots of Love
Auntie Emma and Zio Gregorio xxx
