This has put the biggest smile on my face! So so happy for you Lee, what a little trooper he's been fighting this off! I hope you're all having the best time celebrating and Samuel can return to being a regular wee boy as soon as possible :) :love: xx

[smudgie]

Such amazingly great news.

Being able to get back to normality, and the relief you all feel must be the best feeling in the world.

:hug: big hugs to you all.

[Gstar]

great news :love: :)

[Ninastar]

can this maybe be made into a sticky thread?

but yeah, my sister asked me yesterday 'why are you so happy?' so I just told her that 'one of my online friends just found out her son was leukemia free'

i didnt say tibb, just online, but i never normally do that. I was just that happy for her that I had to say

and omfg, my grandads girlfriend (who has like 4 friends on fb) shared the status by Lee for some reason D:

[Ninastar]

thanks to whoever stickied this...

has Lee been online yet?

[Kate!]

really pleased to come online and read this.

Lovely news Lee. Bless.

[Tom4784]

I'm so glad to hear this, congratulations. :hug:

[Lee.]

Hello everybody :) thanks for making this thread Caitlin, it's lovely to come back to!

So yeah, my boy has been given the all clear.. They can't detect any leukaemia at all, even using the most sensitive, molecular testing. I can't even begin to explain how it felt to receive the good news... It was either going to be this or a bone marrow transplant which would have meant relocating again to Glasgow for the treatment, then 6 months at home with no visitors and no leaving the house.. Relieved is an understatement. Obviously, he'll be monitored closely for the next 5 years, but for now I can say my son kicked cancers arse.. hard! :love:

[Ninastar]

brilliant to see you online!

So happy for you!

:love: :love: :love:

[Shaun]

:lovedup: lee you babe

[Lee.]

brilliant to see you online!

So happy for you!

:love: :love: :love:

:lovedup: lee you babe

Thanks :love: nice to be back!

[Ninastar]

what have you been doing since you found out? Is Samuel back at school?

[Lee.]

what have you been doing since you found out? Is Samuel back at school?

We'll I've been smiling a lot.. Plus enjoying little things like going to my own toilet and using my own shower etc. Oh and I've been drinking champagne a LOT!! :laugh:
The schools are in holiday here at the moment but the nurse that was here the other day said that she'll arrange a meeting at the school as soon as they go back and make plans for him to return a few hours a day at first.. He's still got his Hickman line in his chest and his feeding tube in his nose, so gym and playtime etc will be a nono at first, plus his immune system is still up and down so the teachers have to be told how to recognise the first signs of infection and to phone us immediately.. All a bit daunting really, but it's another step towards normality :hugesmile:

[Shaun]

How much school has he missed? Has he had friends around for visits & stuff? :love:

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Amazing news. This is beautiful. Congratulations.:spin:

[Glenn.]

Lee :love:

[Lee.]

How much school has he missed? Has he had friends around for visits & stuff? :love:

He's not been at school since 24th April and because he's spent most of his time in isolation in hospital, the only people he's really seen are me and his dad.. He FaceTimed his friends from hospital though, so they've seen him ill and bald and with lots of tubes and machines.. It's still going to be a big step getting back to normal school life though.

[Lee.]

Amazing news. This is beautiful. Congratulations.:spin:
Thanks :) :love:

Lee :love:

Glennnnnnnnnnn :love:

[Kizzy]

Hi lee so pleased to catch you on, hugs to your brave boy and you :hug: xx

[Lee.]

Thanks kizzy.. Nice to be back with a nice light heart :)

[Kizzy]

Thanks kizzy.. Nice to be back with a nice light heart :)

I know! you must be bursting with happiness, we all are for you too :D .... I can see one little boy receiving the entire catalogue of toys from argos this crimble :laugh:

[Lee.]

This will be the best Christmas ever! Can't actually wait.. I've kept a positive vision in my head this whole time of Samuel sitting at Xmas dinner with a wee party hat on, sitting laughing with us :love:

[Kizzy]

You've set me off again lee! Happy tears this time though :cheer2:

..:lovedup:..hawwww Lee, what an incredible little guy you have but then he has a pretty great family as well...he's going to be like a movie star when he goes back to school...I know it all seems a little daunting as he's more vulnerable and susceptible to viruses etc as his body adjusts back and the precautions that have to be taken with that but it's not actually so bad..we've had a few children over the years who have also had leukaemia and his school will let you know whenever there is some illness in school that you need to be aware of and he might need some anti-biotics for his low immunity etc sometimes...but it really is no time at all before these precautions don't have to be taken and he's no longer any more vulnerable than any other child...it's also amazing how children 'catch up' so quickly with stuff they have missed at school..his classmates and friends will think that his Hickman line is just about the coolest thing ever..:laugh:...they'll all be fascinated by it because that's children...I'm so, so really happy for you and your whole family...when he's strong enough you all need to treat yourself to something to balance this awful time out...what a Christmas you'll all have, eh...that's if you're conscious of any of it in your wave of celebrations..:laugh:...just the best news ever, Lee..:love:...

[Lee.]

Thanks Ammi :) thankfully, he had a teacher for an hour a day whilst in hospital so he's hopefully not fallen behind that much.
They're going to do another bone marrow test in 2 months and if it's still clear, they'll remove his Hickman, so hopefully it'll be gone by Christmas! I just want him back to normal as quickly as possible.. His hair and eyelashes are back.. His hair is a different colour, but he looks like a healthy child now rather than a cancer patient! :love:

[Marc]

You know how I feel about this news and about you Lee, I'm so happy for you and you give me strength. You're extremely admirable and strong :) xx

[AnnieK]

Amazing news Lee....must be so nice to all be together again at home. Samuel is amazing :lovedup: Was so happy when I heard so god only knows how you all felt.....

Sending lots of love to you all xx

[T*]

So happy for y'all :love:
These coming months are going to be so good for you! <3

[GypsyGoth]

:flutter:

[Jords]

Amazing!

[Niamh.]

This is such good news Lee. I can't even imagine how hard the last few months have been for you and your family. I'm so happy for you all :hug:

[Kazanne]

So pleased for you Lee and your family,it must be a huge weight from your shoulders,and the little guy can be free from all that chemo etc.:hug:Doing a happy dance for you:elephant::dance:xx

[Lee.]

Ooh.. Didn't even know this was stickied! How nice.. I only found it as I was going to make a thread about beef stew! :laugh:

Anyway, just to update you all; Samuel is still doing well! He had his nose tube removed before Xmas and then his Hickman line removed at new year.. They did another bone marrow test too and as we've not heard anything from the hospital, I'm assuming it's still looking good! :hugesmile: His appetite is slowly returning and he's loving having his friends back again!

Thanks again everybody! :)

[Marsh.]

Such brilliant news. :clap1:

All the best to you all. Hope life is returning to some kind of normality for you.

[Lee.]

Thanks marsh :) Normality is bliss!
