Lauren was admitted into Sydney Children's Hospital yesterday (Tuesday) and spent half the night decorating her room, given she'll be living in this enclosure for some 2 months, non stop. You can see her 'wall' with all the pictures here. Fairy lights have been a first, we understand for a transplant room. 
Lauren started radiotherapy this morning and has two bouts each day for 3 days, morning and afternoon at the Prince of Wales Hospital. She's packed like a box so the rays go straight and don't bend with the contours of her body. It's Scary just how many people are in these hospitals for cancer treatment(s)!!!! 
The bone marrow extraction from our UK donor is planned 28th/29th July and Lauren's bone marrow transplant planned for 30th/31st (next Wednesday/Thursday) depending on how it goes with the extraction. May need two goes at it to obtain sufficient cells.
Kate & Nathan started school at their new school yesterday. Nathan sounds like he's enjoyed it, Kate's a little less eager about it at this stage.
