well some of you know that our daughter Gracie is very sick....the rest of you that don't know, Gracie has been diagnosed with Leukemia (blood cancer) she has been in Great Ormond Street Hospital since Friday night and they start chemotherapy tonight (15th).
she will need treatment for 115 weeks (just over two years) so me and Dave have to make some sacrifices and runescape will be one of them( as well as our home, two of our cats, visiting family ect ect) as Gracie's immune system is so low a cold could damage her beyond repair... all our time and energy will be going into taking her to chemo, and making sure she gets through this ordeal and actually giving her some sort of life...
right now Gracie is in isolation as she cant fight off any infections, her veins around her body have had so many needles that she doesn't have any good ones that will keep a tube in for longer then a day she is in a great deal of pain and is on morphine for it as well as Codine and 3 different types of antibiotic also has to have a drug to stop her kidneys from shutting down, she has lost almost a stone in weight and has to have blood transfusions to get her red blood cells and platelets up as they are dangerously low.
We will pop on now and then to say hi and we will keep in touch with you all, a few of you have made our time on runescape amazing and we cant thank you all enough for this.
And i think thats bout it we will miss you all but for now from Dave and Vicky....this is goodbye
much love to everyone xxx

little update on midge she has near-haploid acute lymphoblastic leukaemia which is basically acute lymphoblastic leuakemia's badass motherfucking king...which basically means she will more likely relapse within a 5 year of being treated most relapse after 10 months....it gets worse but it puts a big ass downer on everything so im not guna say the rest, right now she is nuetropenic which means she cant fight any colds infections or viruses as her immune system is way too low she also has low potassium so more drugs, another blood transfusion tomorrow cos she is low everything oh and her headaches might be a blood clot on her brain but she still smiling and happy even if shes weak ^_^ so thats all thats happened this week i think... thanks for thinking bout us all and being there to listen means alot more then you can think xxx
