A busy day
Hi everyone
A bit of a late post tonite after just getting back from the hospital. Kate and Sara had a good night and slept in until 8.30am! Another busy day for Sara with the physio, social worker and occupational therapist visiting in the morning. The social worker came to discuss amongst other things, Canteen (which is a support group for young people with cancer). Sara had lots of little naps during the day and visited the OT again in the afternoon for an assessment which went well and will be followed up over the next few days/weeks to help restore the full mobility in her right hand. Tonight for the first time since the op she texted 2 messages with her right hand - she was very pleased with herself.
Rob and Sue spent the day at the hospital after being home together for the night. Tonite, Lisa (Saras cousin) who is home from London will spend the night with Sara. We have a big day tomorrow with a meeting with the neurosurgeon in the morning.
Sara continues to demonstrate her great sense of humour with wisecracks about the fact that Rob's done more housework in the last few days than he has ever done in his life (as we keep the room in order so you can get in the door!). It is now very well decorated with the end wall covered in cards and the poster from all her Twizel friends.
Another round of great messages today - thank you everyone for that - we love them and so does Sara - they all get printed off and taken in each day.
Love to everyone
Rob, Sue , Kate and Sara

Just a quick note from us to say we're thinking of you this morning with the neurosurgeon and praying it all goes really well. Love the photos on the blog Sara, but it looks like there's still some wall space left in your room: we'll all have to work on that.
Much love

Hi Sara, A bit late getting on here this morn to wish you good luck for your appt with the neurosurgeon - James on the computer! Good luck anyway - we are thinking of you. The photos are wonderful - love the style with the plaits? Suppose you have a stylist every morning. You are such an amazing young woman - you look so good after what you have been through, and always that lovely trademark smile. hope they are keeping up the good food - 10 marks for hospital food, or do you have some sneaked in? Thinking of you all the time, and so many people asking about you, as your news has spread and we all have positive, healing and strong thoughts.
Love from us all. Our prayers are with you as are so many others.

P.S. Tell Katins shes not missing much here!
Hope today went well - I managed to score myself a flat with a young 19 year old couple (do I sound old??) Had a day in school arranging desks and furniture and hiffing old teacher books and junk - found a massive box of rocks at the bottom of one cupboard!!??? The day flew by and it was 5 before I knew it. I move down to the Vegas of Ash on Sunday. Can't wait!
Went to see Just Like Heaven at the movilies last night - very cool - bit of a gulp of cheese at the end though - but really nice and funny too.
Thinking of you daily and everynight before I go to bed send out all my positive vibes your way. Dad's going to a Lions meeting soon - so will ask him to pick up some comb-over advice if he can!!! (:O
Love and hugs - looking forward to catching up soon
