Hamish needs his family

Hamish once again can be described as an absolute champion and has been strong throughout his second bone marrow transplant. As he has done through much of the last roller coaster year, he took everything in his stride and focused on making his hospital room his own.

While in isolation for the five weeks Hamish enjoyed making two letter boxes. One was for him to leave letters for the nurses and the other was to receive letters back. He had such fun and luckily the nurses also joined in the fun.

While in hospital the family celebrated Hamish’s 3rd birthday. The wonderful organisation 'Operation Sugar' made a cake for Hamish and both he and Elliott enjoyed making decorations to jazz up the room and create a party atmosphere the best that they could under the circumstances.

Since the latest transplant, his counts have continued to rise steadily, enough so that Hamish and mum Haley were finally let out of hospital last week. He has been enjoying resting up at Ronald McDonald House while still visiting Starship most days for blood tests and clinic appointments.

While the hospital visits are starting to take their toll on Hamish and his mum, they are making the most of the days they do not need to go to hospital. But they can't wait until he is stronger and they are finally allowed to go home to Hamilton and are back together as a family unit, with fingers firmly crossed that this time he is all sorted and can get on with being the amazing little three year old boy that he is!
