Out of hospital

Hooray, Hooray, Hooray, Joshua finished his chemo today and went home from hospital. 

Joshua on the way down to his final LP

As it was his last round of chemo, the nurses let him rub his own name off the board: 


In a few weeks he will officially be able to 'ring the bell'. Not sure if I mentioned it before or not but the Oncology Department at the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital has a 'Ringing Out' bell for children who have completed treatment. We are so blessed to be able to ring the bell after only a few months - some children never get to ring it, or only get to ring it after years of treatment. Due to the nature of the cancer that Joshua had, the treatment was hard but fast.

Now it's just a waiting game. Joshua's blood results today are already pretty low so please pray against infections in the next few weeks. The sooner his bloods recover the sooner he can come home.
