National Day and Liberation Day
It has been a while since I wrote anything. Basically, life is much the same these days. However, this week we have a five day holiday. Yes, thats right five days!! The Kuwait Government know how to do days off. It is National Day and Liberation Day. You may remember the Gulf War 1990, the first edition.
Well to celebrate Entertainment City announced it was giving free entrance during the celebrations, great like going to Alton Towers for free, so we thought. Well entrance was free, but the catch you had to pay for every ride, many of them £2.00 a go, needless to say we didn't stay every long and didn't go on many rides.
Adam and his two classmates enjoyed themselves, Today I am a little tired, probably over did it. This week I have more tests, and then again next week. CT Scan, heart test, Thank God we are getting to the end of the treatment.
Progress on the house we are having built in Cebu is painfully slow, we are waiting for the developer to pay the contractor so he can complete the build. Today is a public holiday in the Philippines, so we cannot do anything today. They know how to Holiday too. 18 public holidays a year.
well, we are fast coming to a time when we have to make some decisions about travelling. At present looks like mid April we will go to UK, Then early May back to Kuwait and early June to the Philippines, that is assuming I get the all clear, 'thumbs-up', 'all systems go' etc.
I am very optimistic at present and do feel alot better, most days that is, today not so. But then it is only one week ago that I had Chemo. Sometimes I forget the magnitude of the illness I have. The only thing I know is that I will beat it. Keep praying for us, Ruth and Adam are doing very well with all the uncertainity, schooling for next year (school year in the Philippines) is still up in the air.
We have just ordered from the China Queen restaurant, and it should arrive shortly, so bye for now, I promise to keep you up to date more often.

Very late
No excuses, I just have not had anything to write.
This week Adam's school had a 'sports fest' The Green Team won the over all team events that was Adams House. So when he came home with his hair sprayed Green we were not surprised.
I have not been doing very well this week. The Chemo has destroyed my White Blood count, well it is very low (2.1) so I have to go for injection each day to boost it. I also have a Chest infection and hacking cough, Sorry to be so down but I sam sure I will be Ok again, The main thing is I am making progress,
Keep up the good work all of you, I am off to the hospital, Then get some Kebabs that Sarah likes.
