Update since Full brain Radiotherapy in Christchurch Feb/16..

David and I went up to Dunedin for stereo-tactic radiotherapy 8/3/16 they seen David has a pus filled open wound in his scar from his surgery in January, we got flown up to Christchurch the morning after 11/3/16 and they did an operation on David to flush out the infection and remove his skull flap on the left front side of his head to try clear the infection, the day after David kept having seizures and everything they gave him to try stop the seizures wouldn't work so they had to sedate and paralyze him and put him in ICU, He started breathing on his own the morning after so they removed the breathing tube next day David got sent back up to the neurosurgery ward and got a PICC line put in his arm as hes on a 24/7 antibiotic pump now to clear infection in his brain. We just went to Christchurch 4/4/16 for David to have a PET scan which showed no signs of tumor spreading or cancers anywhere else in the body. There's just a 5 mm spot on his lung but they will keep a eye on that with scans. 7/4/16 David has an infection in his arms his blood count can back really high they've taken new bloods on other arm to double check. Just waiting on results to see what they're going to do hope the infection starts to clear soon its really frustrating for David being hooked up to a 24/7 pump
