Knowing George had a friend's birthday party this afternoon today started with us lazing around and grazing to help us manage his energy levels. This involved indulging in a double breakfast including loads of cereal and crumpets (yes there's a crumpet lurking underneath all of that chocolate spread!) Woody had taken Alex to the Dorking Rugby Club Minis Festival where they were having a brilliant time in today's glorious sunshine! By 12 he had to leave to go to work so George and I tagged in to catch the last two of Alex's matches.
Originally I'd intended to get there a bit earlier to squeeze a 30 min run in before Woody had to leave but at first I couldn't my keys to the house and then I couldn't find the car keys, ghaaaaa! 🤦🏼♀️ As soon as I arrived I dropped George with him and started running but only managed 10 minutes meaning I ran just over a mile ...my old self would have died at even the thought of that yet now I'm thinking that's no where near enough considering I've got to add on 25.2 more with the London Marathon in just 5 weeks weeks time, gulp!
Tonight it's my turn to sit here shattered. After a busy weekend, coupled with my ongoing sleep issues, I'm feeling like a zombie! On the flip side George was on brilliant form and LOVED the football party he went to this afternoon! Our friends were so kind and let Alex join in too and, believe it or not, they even cracked out the BBQ! Quite the difference to this day when George was in treatment having yet another a blood transfusion as well as x-rays in his isolation room to see what on earth was going on with his lungs on this rounds post chemo infection 😢
Back then it was the Momentum Children's Charity that put a smile on his face with one of their music therapy sessions. For us the added bonus was an article on our fundraising efforts appearing in the easyJet inflight magazine!! Incredible to think how much we've raised to help beat childhood cancer with all of your help since back then!
Between us we've got this.
