Supporting Lucy Filipo

Hi TEAM LUCY! Great news! We are home in Hastings and it is awesome to be home. Great to be back and great to have Lucy back where she belongs. We arrived back last Sunday and are getting our bearings back but itfs an amazing feeling to be back to the place we call home. Lucy has Chemo in Hastings on Thursday and will need to go back to Auckland next Wednesday and hopefully only for a night. After next week we will know more but weekly visits to Auckland are likely for a while. Lucy seems more relaxed and itfs great not being stuck in a shoe box like we were. We are truly grateful to Starship Hospital, Ronald McDonald House and The Child Cancer Foundation for all they have done for us while we have been in Auckland. The services up in Auckland are amazing and Lucy was in the best place for the initial treatment program but HOME is HOME. You canft beat it! Lucy continues to receive gifts from TEAM LUCY! We came back to a signed ALL BLACKS Jersey for Lucy from her Uncle Ezzy- thanks cuz for the present- looks awesome and it fits me well:-) Uncle Harry made Lucy a bowl that we have sitting near out TV- Lucy keeps saying gElenifs dad made thath or gUncle Harryh and points to it. Thanks buddy for that and the many other things you have done. We also had Haley, who has taken care of Lucy at daycare Nature Kids, her Aunty donated a raffle prize she won as part of Nature Kids Easter raffle- a huge thank you to Nature Kids for EVERYTHING they have done and continue to do for us- we will come and see you soon and thanks to Aunty Cathy for the present! Itfs great to be home and we will try and catch up with TEAM LUCY! when we can- we really still cannot believe how much you have all done for us. We will never be able to repay you for the support and generosity you have given us but we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. We will keep you updated on our progress- huge Thanks from us here in HASTINGS! YAY!:-)
