    HELLO MAINTENANCE!!!

    Honestly, I remember dreaming of this day many months ago, felt like it was never going to get there. What a bloody blessed day today is ! So much joy I don't even have words for . Massive milestone for us 🙌🏻

    It's crazy this journey has felt like a lifetime but also the last 3 months has felt like a blink !

    In 17 months 2 weeks bodhi will have his last chemotherapy! This is the long haul . But it's a much better stage to be in .

    Day 241 on bodhis Battle against Cancer.

    Today, he is having another round of chemotherapy vincristine & methotrexate.

    Today is his last day of interim maintenance ll phase

    He has completed phases 5/6 .

    100+++ odd days ago, this day felt like it would never be here , with no light at the end of the tunnel.

    As we move into phase 6 - maintenance!!

    we are so thankful and filled with joy for him & for us as a family to move to a more normal way of living. 🙌🏻

    Bodhi is a trooper ! We are so proud of him ❤️

    ✨UPDATE FROM COURTNEY ✨

    Absolute shit show again today . 😥

    Mac arrived, and they said bodhi isn't set for surgery today . That he needed to do repeat bloods and surgery would be tomorrow! Mac wasn't impressed, to say the least . Honestly, the communication is terrible!

    But a Dr who was pretty cool is also from Taranaki , said he will get him on surgery list for last surgery of the day . And won't bother will repeat bloods .

    Then he had his surgery. Mac was still waiting on a phone call over 40 minutes later to say he was out and he could come , no call so he went in to go ask what was going on , turns out they didn't bother calling because they seen bodhis phone and thought that was macs 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ poor bodhi was so upset and really frustrated with dad because he wasn't there .

    They've ordered his chemo today, so now he has to go to it tomorrow morning before his flight .

    That place really annoys me , it's always something, and the communication is always sh*t.

    In saying that , bodhi has one more appointment in 2 weeks, then he is set for monthly checks , home oral chemo & 3 monthly starship visits ! How amazing is that !

    ✨✨✨Shared from Courtney ✨✨✨

    195 days ago, this picture was taken , This was the day after we flew up to the starship. He was diagnosed 196 days ago, 30-10-2023, at approximately 12.30pm. Man, that's a long time , and it sure feels surreal , like a lifetime , but also just like yesterday! He's come so far ! Those were some very dark times , mentally, for everyone. I Remember flying up and I was f*cking petrified for countless reasons , mostly I was alone , I was in shock , I was devastated , I'd just left my girls at home crying not knowing what was happening next , although I do remember the flight up there and I f*cking hated every moment, those little planes suck and are scary , mac wasn't able to fly up until the next day, Debbie was waiting for me at starship when we arrived that afternoon & stayed with me until almost midnight. I think by the time Mac got there , I'd already seen countless Dr's, nurses , mental health teams , coordinators , Specialists , and surgical teams . It was a lot. I genuinely felt like my brain was going to explode!

    It's f*cking sad looking back , it actually hurts alot . A lot of emotions, but also sooo proud of how far bodhi has came and us as a family! Life will never be the same tbh . I know I've sure as hell have grieved life pre cancer . In saying that 196 days down 💪🏼 bodhi is so strong and resistant , he's a real champ. I couldn't be more proud of him as the awesome dude he is .

    Bodhi isn't able to go up to starship this week for part 2 of this phase as his blood counts are too low still .

    So will do more bloods on Friday, and try go for Monday app in starship.

    On another note - his hair loss has been pretty full on this time round.

    Lots of smooth patches

    Bodhi had chemo today.

    Went well .

    Although he had meltdowns accessing port and de accessing.

    His hair is falling out again , they did warn us when he changed phases it would likely happen.

    He’s got the worst nappy rash imaginable - his skin looks actually burnt.

    They gave his some special cream they make up the hospital to treat it.

    Sharing Courtney’s status share from this yesterday 🫶🏻

    For bodhis new phase starting 04/03/24 this phase is a total of 8 weeks giving there are no set backs .

    We do ask ALL to please ask before you come over .( I dint care who you are , just ask) We will be back on a very strict isolation again as he will become neuropathic. This phase will be hard enough & we'd like to prevent any outside potential bugs/illness as we can.

    If you have been in contact or even think you may have . Please just don't risk it.

    Delayed intensification is known for a rough ride usually with a hospital stay or two . So we'd like to do our very best from the get go.

    He's currently back on oral steroids , weekly chemotherapy 2x vincristine & doxorubicin . & the pegaspargase on Thursday 2 hour chemo ( HATE this one) he's previously had this & spiked fevers from it . I'm praying this doesn't happen again as he'll be back in hospital for a stay.

    He will more than likely loose all his hair during this phase unless he has sometime of super powers 🧘🏼

    The plane trip went well last night. had delays prior & landing got delayed they didn't get into ronald macDonald house until around 8.30-9 pm

    Fasting from 6.30 am onwards.

    Appointment at 11.30 . Bodhis routine obs went well ! Super fast . Bodhi had to do more bloods . That went OK.

    Found out bodhi needed a heart echo to start his new phase . Wasn't booked in to Mac, and bodhi got sent back up to clinic . They then were trying to sort him into the echo . Finally, that was done !! Hours later. Communication between departments is terrible - makes for a stressful day.

    Dr. The appointment went well.

    Then port access and chemo started . Once that finished he went down to surgery, had to wait around for 45 minutes down there to go in , surgery went well .

    Back up to clinic for monitoring, obs were good and bodhi was happy camper with dad .

    Had two lunch packs !

    He was starving !

    Was super nice with the nurse

    yay !

    And they've finally got back to the Ronald mac room at 6.15pm .

    Long day !

    Bodhi will be super tired .

    They should arrive back in the Naki midday tomorrow

    Moving into this phase - he will have chemo every Monday - and will be having a two hour treatment of the pegaspargase chemo this Wednesday at Taranaki base hospital.

    He has had this one twice before during his induction phase of treatment. This one’s really rough on his system and he struggled with temps etc last time. So pretty worried.

    Big week for such a little guy.

    Bodhi enjoying his weetbix this morning 🥹

    Bodhi’s been pretty good overall.

    His Eating been OK , lives on chicken flavored chips at the moment. !

    He goes through stages where he will just eat one thing - it’s been shapes -crackers - sausages - precooked cold , strawberry’s

    Courtney has noticed his skin is very weak , he's got a sore on his knee that just doesn't heal and every time he bangs it slightly bleeds again .

    Sunblock doesn’t seem to protect him against the sun

    He kicked his toe on the ground and cracked the nail and took skin off . It bleeds all the time with a slight bang to it .

    He's overall pretty happy, though!

    Rests a lot but plays hard too when he’s up for it.

    He has his first chemo treatment in Taranaki next week - and has a at home visit for bloods next week before hand.

    These are both firsts in our journey- gotta take the small wins and silver linings 🫶🏻

    Thank you all for your ongoing love and support ✨

    Hey everybody it’s been awhile since I have updated this page. - bodhi is trucking along as well as can be expected

    He enjoyed Christmas and new years at home with his family. This week seen him back in star ship for a double dose of chemo -travelled via car this time instead of plane so made a few playground stops on the way there. He’s not got much of an appetite due to the chemo and no longer taking steroids so that hunger from the then is not there.

    Thank you all for your ongoing love and support.

    Things have been really tough for bodhi and his family as they navigate the new normal which as I’m sure you can all appreciate takes a massive toll on everyone

    If you would like to follow Bodhi’s journey please find us on FB at Bodhisjourney

    Yesterday Bodhi’s hair started falling out in clumps - we knew it would happen

    However nothing quite prepares you for the emotional journey and reality that is

    Today was Courtney’s birthday (Bodhis mum) Today also marked 25 days since they left Taranaki

    25 days since the four girls back home saw them. Today they travelled home after bodhis chemo this morning !

    They landed in Taranaki just after 3pm and made their journey home

    As I’m sure you can all imagine there were lots of tears and cuddles to be had.

    Bodhi will continue his journey and they will travel back to Auckland next week for more surgery and chemo. - but in the mean time will soak up all that lost time between them all.

    The journey is not over - just changed to another part of there new life

    Courtney Mac and the kids will need just as much love and support if not more as they learn to navigate their new normal.

    Things will be very different than what they were as they try to keep bodhi as healthy as possible and avoid any illnesses etc.

    for now they rest in their home for the first time in a month - all together

    Happy birthday Courtney 💕

    Hey guys sorry I haven’t posted in a few days - things have been much of the same. Bodhi doesn’t have a lot of energy - and sleeps lots - he has times where he’s still quite wobbly on his legs and sore. They have settled in the Ronald McDonald house ok - but looking forward to heading home back to Taranaki hopefully soon. The girls can’t wait to be reunited with there parents and bodhi.

    Enjoy this photo of Bodhi’s beautiful wee face (swollen for the medications )

    Bodhi had his first clinic visit today, it went well.

    He had another round of chemo today - he's been very grumpy this afternoon , will be from the chemo among many other things and isn’t feeling the best.

    His blood results are still on the rise (doing what we want them to do) so that's a real positive .

    His walking has been better today so that's been awesome for Mac & Courtney to see Bodhi not being so weak and wobbly on his feet.

    Today bodhi had his chest needle removed - as Courtney and Mac prepared for their move to Ronald McDonald house.

    This afternoon their discharge was completed as they carried all of their stuff from the hospital down the road a little to what will be their new home for the time being. ✨🧡

    Thank goodness for the Ronald McDonald house for out of towers like them

    Bodhi being a bit unsure asked to go back to his room (at the hospital ) a little after they arrived

    As I’m sure you can all imagine this is a big step and moves them to the next part of the journey.

    Bodhi still has really low haemoglobin and neutraphil levels.

    He often is low on energy and has

    Lots of big emotions for this little guy 😞

    He enjoyed another Spag bol dinner tonight !

    Mac and Courtney have spent the last wee while learning all the ins and outs of the many medications they will be preparing and administering throughout the day and night with bodhi.

    Keep them in your thoughts as they navigate this next part

    Thank you all for your continued support and kind words ✨

    Poor wee bodhi was very grumpy and sore today

    With very little energy.

    However managed a to spend some time in the play room today so that was nice

    Mac and Courtney and preparing for the discharge to Ronald McDonald house - fingers crossed there are no more delays or deterioration with bodhi. 🤞

    They are checking haemoglobin levels again as they are quite low.

    His neutrophils are really low too.

    He’s got ulcers in his mouth - from treatment 😞

    Courtney and Mac received bodhis cool little NG tube backpack - in a neat giraffe design.

    Thank you for your ongoing support and Kind words. We really appreciate it ✨

    Bodhi has had an ok weekend. He’s really sore - and pretty grumpy all round . It’s tough being two and being stuck in a hospital having all sorts of daily meds /treatments and OBS

    Fingers crossed tomorrows a better day.

    Thank you all for your ongoing love , kindness and support.

    Today has been a bit of a rough one for both Bodhi and Mac and Courtney

    . Bodhi had his chest port changed which was painful and traumatising for everyone involved. Along with a NG tube put in as bodhi is refusing meds and bottles now along with a low appetite being a recipe for disaster ( which they were using along with foods to disguise medications but he has wised up and now refusing ) after his temp spike last night it has delayed moving to the Ronald McDonald house for the time being.

    He has however enjoyed snacking on his pizza flavoured shapes today. And a room shift giving a slightly different view. Has been nice all round.

    Please keep him in your thoughts and surround him with living vibes as they continue to navigate this unfair journey.

    Today has been another positive day today - no invasive treatments other than OBs and lots of meetings for Mac and Courtney with doctors. Having received more positive news regarding his diagnosis today. Bodhi has ups and downs with moods and energy as to be expected with all that’s going on. They are hoping to be relocated to the Ronald McDonald house soon so that’s exciting news.

    Bodhi is suffering from really sore knees today - such is the territory with this type of cancer

    Please keep him in your thoughts and well wishes 🧡

    Today marks a week since the devastating news and flight to starship

    There four girls back home are doing really well , resilient , brave sweet little girls.

    *unfortunately this evening saw Bodhi take a wee turn - he has spiked a temperature - and is now being treated with antibiotics - having bloods and swabs etc done to try and spice the issue - hoping for a speedy recovery after what had been a good couple of days.

    Hey everybody

    Bodhi had his second round of chemo today - slightly different to Wednesday’s one as this one is specific to the type of luekemia he has - he’s in reasonable spirits today - seeing a few more giggles and smiles which has been nice for Courtney and Mac

    He’s made friends (finally) with one of the nurses. Fingers crossed for a smooth sailing evening

    Thank you all for your continued kind messages and support means so much.

    Hey everyone - bodhi had a reasonable nights rest last night - without temperatures which is a massive positive.

    He woke this morning very sore and tired, little to know energy as to be expected with the first round of chemo yesterday. He’s not in good spirits today - and keeps asking mum and dad to go home, and to go in the car - mum lets him know they dont have the car with them so now asking to go in the plane. - bless him.

    Suffering with a sore neck and back.

    Today there is no invasive treatments so that’s a bonus other than the regular bloods and obs.

    Fingers crossed this evening and tomorrow is a better for him.

    Mac and Courtney wish to thank everybody for their kind words and generosity in these tough times.

    Please be patient with messaging as I’m sure you can all appreciate they are both feeling very overwhelmed and tired/stressed.

    This weeks been a whirlwind - and not in a good way.

    Enjoy the picture of bodhis cheeky smile taken this morning.
