Thank you for all my valentines!!

Good News!

Chelsea has recovered from her surgery and is happily back home spending quality time with her family and her Aunt Sara!! They adore their Aunt and are having a blast playing and swimming with her.
I was able to Skype with Angie and Chelsea recently. Every time I see them I am amazed at Chelsea's joyful spirit; she radiates happiness and is all smiles. Such a beautiful and brave girl!

Here are some pictures from her most recent hospital stay.

Update from Simon on Chelsea's surgery

"Surgery went really well. Chelsea got a balloon and a round of applause from the nurses when we got back to pediatrics late last night. Surgeon said there was gangrene. She's sleeping like a baby right now and looking forward to Mummy's shift. Crucially, the fever has gone. So, another thing beaten, another step forward. She's a trooper, our little girl."

Update from Simon

"Well, we're back in hospital with high fever and Chelsea is having surgery to remove her infected port tonight. Hopefully all will go well and we'll be home again in a few days... Chelsea is being so brave during the hard bits - it is humbling. Thanks so much for all your wishes, love and support. We remain positive and strong, and she is just awesome."

Please pray and send positive healing energy to Chelsea.

Chelsea is back home!!

After an emergency with Chelsea's chemo port becoming infected and causing a fever which resulted in a week long hospital stay Chelsea is back home and "bouncing off the walls"!! We are so happy that Chelsea is feeling better and didn't have to undergo surgery. Here are a few pictures from her week in hospital:

"More eggs please!"

Update from Simon

"Hi everyone. Little pic of my gorgeous girls at Christmas. Chelsea is feeling a bit better today - she's in hospital after an emergency which started on Tuesday - an infection of her chemo port causing a worrying high fever. When I left yesterday, her fever was under control and Chelsea was smiling and almost back to her normal wonderful, brave self. Angie has been in overnight and I'm about to head back to hospital this morning for my shift. We are hopeful she will not have to have surgery to remove the port. I've had no calls overnight so I'm assuming she is still doing well. Docs say we may be in for a 7 day stay. I know we are in your thoughts. That helps. We remain strong and positive and Chelsea is just an awesome little fighter. Much love from us all"
