So much to tell.....

Apologies once again, had a busy few days.....am exhausted!!! So where are we?...

Friday - had a great day with June yet again. Scooby and Scrappy were up to no good again! This morning we found them playing dominoes!!



After the hospital Adam went to nursery, when we went to collect him we were greeted by a few of the mums and the staff and given a card and envelope. The card was from everyone telling us to have a day out on them! Inside the envelope was a large sum of money which had originally been raised for the nursery garden by the kids doing an obstacle course. After collecting it all, they decided to give it to us instead. We were very taken aback and reluctantly accepted it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE AT NURSERY!

We realise that so many people want to help us but can't do anything physically so are helping to ease our situation financially, especially as Spike is not working at present. It has been very difficult to accept the generosity of everyone but we do understand it and would do exactly the same if the shoe were on the other foot so to speak!

Saturday - Adam and Scott went to the youth club on saturday morning and had a great time. Spike was away all day for a golf outing with the 32 club to St Michaels at Leuchars in fife. It was Leith Gala day too but I decided not to take all 4 boys on my own so the boys just played in the garden. Saturday night Spike and I went to the Lochend Golf Club for a Race Night which had been organised as a fundraiser for Adam by some very dear friends (dont need to mention names - they know who they are and how much we love them all), this night was a great success, it gave us an opportunity to see some friends whom we have not seen since Adam was diagnosed. The support we are getting from you all is amazing! Thank you so so much. The amount raised on the night staggered us! We were both in tears more than once, again at people generosity and the support. We are very lucky to have the friends we have! Adam would love to go back to South Africa and we would love to take him, the money raised on saturday alone would pay for us all to go, need to look into travel insurance for Adam though as it is a very long way to travel, maybe have to go somewhere closer like Euro Disney.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR FEET TO EVEYONE WHO WAS REMOTELY INVOLVED IN SATURDAY NIGHT - YOU ARE AMAZING PEOPLE!

Now - on to Sunday - Uncle Craig and Kira are here!!!!!


We had quite a lazy day on Sunday, all tired after a long saturday and so we just had a nice chilled day.

On to Monday - when we arrived at the hospital this morning Scooby and Scrappy were having a party for Uncle Craig and Kira coming, unfortunately Uncle Craig and Kira were not with us this morning so we ate all the cakes ourselves!!! Hee Hee, the were delicious - June made them specially for us and Scooby and Scrappy had party poppers and everything - I forgot to take the camera but have a couple of pics on my phone but not been able to bluetooth them yet so use your imagination!!

We then took a trip through to Livingston to pick up a parcel, which we discovered they had tried to redeliver to us! We went to the shopping centre, had a walk around bought a few things then came home. Boys went out to play in the garden.
More in a bit.......

we are glad that Adam's treatment continues to go well and that your friends and family are helping you on this journey that no one should ever have to travel.

It was lovely seeing photos from the airport and I am currently imagining how good the cakes tasted :-)

We think of you all the time and we send all of our love

another week of treatment over and I hope it continues to go well. I hope that the boys are enjoying having their uncle Craig over and that you are enjoying being together with Craig and Stuart. When I think of the three of you together I just think "fresh and low" but that's a whole other story another another life time ago...

Anyway, We hope you are doing "okay" (no-one could ask for any more in your situation) and just want to send our love

Jayne & Stuart
