The story ........

Hi everyone

Some of you will not have caught up with the news from the Young family and other have but here is the latest.

We had a fantastic week sailing in the Marlborough Sounds after Boxing Day with Robyn, Mac and Tracey and then we headed to Jane and Mart’s in Nelson. While on the yacht Sara had some trouble with her hand and we thought she had RSI as a result of all her text messaging to her wonderful friends and soooo much writing studying for exams. While in Nelson we went to the physio but then at the movies that night Sara tried to speak to Rob and found she could not get the words out. The next day we saw a doctor in Nelson before heading back to Chch.

In Christchurch we saw our family doctor and he immediately got very concerned and got us into the hospital system by 2 o’clock that afternoon. Friday night Sara had an MRI scan. By Saturday afternoon we had the terrible and devasting news that Sara had a brain tumour.

Monday we saw the neurosurgeon who explained in more detail what we were dealing with. We have been told we have one of the best neurosurgeons in NZ so that is very reassuring.

Our beautiful Sara is one of the best to - a shining light for all of us. She is so strong and her 17 years of determination have put her in good stead for the days ahead. I guess her stroppy terrible twos started to get us on her path as well!

Love to everyone

Rob Sue Sara and Kate (on her way)
