22nd November 2009 – Free Day
November 23rd, 2009
We went to the RT Mart today (never again on a Sunday – it was busy beyond belief) and brought some fresh meat, potatoes & vegetables. I’m not looking forward to trying to cook it in the the kitchen but I’m certainly looking forward to eating it!
Tonight we went to Pizza Hut. They have an amazing choice of foods on the menu. Keiran ordered the chicken curry with spaghetti & Keith and I had pizza. Keith’s never been to Pizza Hut in England as he’s not keen on Pizza’s – it’s strange to think that his first experience in Pzza Hut is here in China! Unfortunately, Keiran’s curry & spaghetti didn’t come BUT he munched away on plenty of pizza & fried squid. Then we headed back to the hospital.
Sunday is a day when I have so much buzzing around in my head as we are given Keiran’s schedule for the coming week & then reality hits me. Back to my same thoughts…………are we doing the right thing, am I asking the Dr’s the right questions, why didn’t I take Mandarin lessons before we came, will Keiran look back & regret coming out, will Georgia & Maddie resent us from being away from home? The list of questions & thoughts just bounce around in my head & some days I feel like it’s going to explode! Our lives have been one hell of a roller coaster ride for the past 9 months & will continue to be so.
I wish I could report some improvement so far, but as off yet there is none. However, we need to stay positive & hope that this will come with time. His next stemcell day is Wednesday & he will receive these via Lumbar. He’s not worried about it but it just makes me feel sick in my stomach to see my baby boy go through it, but he smiles & it melts my heart as to how well he is coping with being in a foreign country and taking everything on the chin! I’m so very proud of him – he really is a superstar!! Just wish I could be the same.
Missing you all

hey baby:) what you like:-D You guys are doing amazing here and your courage shows through Keiran everyday. He is a total credit to you and Keith! A one in a million, pure boy <3 And as for your girls, they know you love them more than the universe and you'd do anything for them too. (Girls, your mum n dad are thinking of you every second, they cherish you 2 soooo much!)
Remember that we amplify what ours kids feel by a million! In life we never know if we're doing things right from day to day anyway…so how we supposed to know when we're here??? One second at a time and you'll see this thru. This rollercoaster ride we're on is the scariest one so far, but if our kids and do it, so can we. You know where i am hunni, netime always. Luv ya babe <3 chin up ok! And while i'm gasing, let me tell everyone how you've been a true friend to me since we've been here and i can't tell you how much i appreciate having you here. You are a diamond lady. xXxXx (((((Big squeeze)))))

A Mother
A mother has strengths that are so amazing
She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.
She holds happiness, love and opinions
She smiles when she feels like screaming
She sings when she feels like crying
cries when shes happy and laughs when shes afraid.
her love is unconditional
Theres only one thing wrong with her,
she sometimes forgets her worth xx
sent this poem to Michelle the other day but wanted to send it to you.
Everything you’s are doing is for the good and dont ever doubt yourself, Keiran is doing amazing at coping with it all, he really is 1 in a million xxxx

Keiran you are doing amazingly well, we are really proud of you for how you are coping and how you are taking everything in your stride – i can imagine how proud mum and dad are of you actually being there with you and seeing how well you are doing – you really are a true superstar!!!!
Just think this week in two weeks you will be packing up to come home – i know you cant wait to come home – hopefully the next two weeks will fly by!
Keep your chin up and give it time H.
Love and kisses to you all, miss you.

Hi Everyone,
It was fantastic to talk to you all on Sunday – sorry we kept losing connection tho – what a pain – but fantastic technology that we could chat and have a giggle while u are so far away.
You are all doing tremendously well, Keiran is such a trooper and both Hayley and Keith we are proud of you too. You are both coping extremely well – knackered – but you have to remember that you have done your best and that is all you can ever do for any of your children.
Stop fretting about the girls resenting you (that will never happen), Keiran regretting going to China (you had to try) and as for questions………..if its in your head as a little thought – then ask – at least you’ve asked it even it is nothing that important. If it is going through yr head then it is imporant enough to ask.
Chin up all of you and so glad we chatted Sunday – was lovely – half way through the treatment – Keiran you are fantastic.
Hoping to catch you on again and hoping (even more) to ty and see you all before Christmas
Luv all the Tucci family xXx
