My boy...

Hello friends

Digressing from craft today to talk about my boy.
If you've followed my blog you'll know that he has really struggled 
with his MRI scans, he suffers from claustrophobia and those 
machines are not nice at all!
Anyway after LOTS of searching we finally found an upright MRI scanner
in West London and Monday was scan day.
We broke with tradition straight away and had KFC not McDonalds!


I am delighted to report that he got through the scan and the contrast injection.
The clinic was superb and massive thanks to all the staff there.

We celebrated at a rather posh nearby coffee shop in Piccadilly -
that's a huge double chocolate muffin, chocolate ice cream and
strawberry frozen ice drink (not a Bloody Mary!)


We will know the results shortly so fingers crossed there but right now
holding onto the fact that he got through it.

And yes...hasn't he grown, those daily injections and cocktail of meds
definitely work....this was him 3 years ago...


Thanks to everyone for their kind words and support,
I value it deeply.  And thanks to all those who purchase the 
Charity Kits - there's still a few 
for this month available here as I made some extra.

Take care friends - back to craft tomorrow!

  9. Good Morning Christine
    I am so pleased for both of you, what a difference in Elliot, hardly the same boy!
    So sad it took so long for them to decide when there was a machine all the time!
    Lets hope this is an end to all of it for you!
    Take care
    Love Marg

  25. Hi Christine, This is brilliant news and well done Elliott. Fantastic that you have found somewhere with an upright MRI and that Elliott has got it over with. Our fingers are all crossed !!
    Is Elliott changing allegiance from Mackies then !! I can't believe he polished off KFC and then had a huge muffin and ice cream.
    Elliott has certainly grown up in 3 years, the injections etc have definitely worked, and he has gone from a boy to a man.
    I notice that you don't mention what you had, Christine hahaha.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
