Hello friends
Today isn't a craft post but hoping you will not mind...
I want to share with you the elation in the Emberson household!
Yesterday at the hospital we received the results of Elliott's MRI scan and we couldn't be happier.
After diagnosis last April, brain surgery last May, six weeks of radiotherapy, CT scans, eye tests,
sessions with a psychology team, daily injections, so many blood tests we have lost count,
a cocktail of drugs morning and night (and more..)
his brain tumour is finally shrinking!
It will never disappear but if it remains "deactivated" then all is good - hurrah hurrah!
Unless his eyesight worsens, he will not need another MRI for six months.
Just the thought of going through one week without a hospital appointment is such a treat for Elliott, incredible how illness in life can change how you view things.
For those of you who have met my boy, you will know he never moans and always has a smile.
I am amazed at how he has coped - far better than me at times!
We know that we couldn't have got through many days without the kindness and support
of our online friends - that's all of YOU so gargantuan hugs are being sent out
through Blogger-sphere today!
Take care friends and wishing you a wonderful day.

I had everything crossed for you yesterday. Superb news for all of you. Good news brings a smile to everyone's faces and makes the world a happier place!! Gillian x
This is the greatest news, I'm so thrilled for you all and especially for Elliott, he must have have been so frightened at times but has conducted himself so adultly and always seems to have a smile and great sense of humour. I am writing this at the moment with tears of joy streaming down my cheeks. Keep celebrating but the only downfall for Elliott is that he will have to cut down on the McDonalds.
Love to all of your family
