Arise oh mighty Neutrophil's & doing a little bit of good!

A quick update for all on my health etc.

As I have said, I have been feeling decidedly well, which is a bonus. Last Friday was day 10 with blood count generally at a low at that point.  I had a blood test yesterday which indicates that I am well above the minimum and so able to start socialising again - ie. I am at lower risk of infection. This has picked up quickly due to the injection I had last week & will now generally trend slowly back to normal levels.
Having seen Tony today he is happy with progress and round two will start next Wednesday, 21st Dec - just in time for Xmas!!!

As many of you will be aware we were due to be in the USA at the moment, obviously this got cancelled. Well most of it. We had a booking at a resort in Pennsylvania, close to some skiing. This was booked using our Interval international points and was not capable of cancellation.  Now I hate waste and so when I could not find cousins etc that could use the booking, I approached a small charity close to the resort - www.aimeesarmy.com
Annette runs this charity to support families of children with various childhood cancers.  Aimee is Annettes daughter who unfortunately passed away a few years ago from an incurable tumour.

Annette has put me in touch with a family who as it happens was looking to book some time at the very same resort.   The family in question have a 3 year old boy who is battling grade lll anaplastic ependymoma (brain cancer). Also, His Birthday is December 21st!!!

So Liz and I are very happy to be able to transfer this booking to someone else to utilise and for it to be such a worthy cause and with such perfect timing with it being his birthday.
It's gratifying when a little bit of googling and a few e-mails can just bring a smile and a charming comment of
"Wow!! I am so floored, unimaginably grateful, and beyond excited for the last min for this opportunity"

For those of the praying persuasion - please keep Zachary from Pennsylvania in your prayers.
