Tinks - Emily update

I was talking with Grant earlier today. They had just finished Emily's first treatment of radiation. "Only 32 sessions to go!" I think most of you are aware that the treatment requires Emily to go under a general anesthetic. Unfortunately Emily did not respond well when coming out of the anesthetic today. This certainly makes it harder on both Shell and Grant, as dealing with a 3 year old who is very hostile is not an easy task. Grant said that they will vary the anesthetic and hopefully get a blend that does not upset Emily as much when they bring her out of it.

I'm hoping Grant will get on line over the next couple of weeks so that he can share our support and hopefully get a few laughs from everyone's entries.

Emily arrived home a couple of hours after the treatment and Grant is pleased to report that Emily is back to her normal cheeky self!

With six weeks of daily treatment (weekends off!) they are all taking it one day at a time. I'm sure you will all join me in wishing the Tinkers all the success over the next couple of months.

Thanks for the update Bruce. I know what its like having your kid have to go "under" with anaesthetic and then await them waking up. We go through it every time Aidan goes to the dentist!
Our best wishes to Grant and Shell and Emily.

Whiz and family.
