Thank you so much for praying, it definitely felt like the tide changed after people started praying! Eloise was discharged from St George’s yesterday afternoon, with consultants all happy that it was an undiagnosed infection, that had responded well to IV antibiotics (Eloise is ‘on fire’ now these have kicked in) and that it wasn’tContinue reading “Thank you for praying – Eloise is home!”

Prayers for Eloise – in St George’s hospital
We would value prayers for Eloise. After last week’s blog, Eloise is again in hospital. This time, straight after Eloise doing her first nativity play we went to the doctor (Wednesday) who told us to go straight into the Royal Surrey Hospital. After 24 hours of tests (normal urine, stool, blood cultures etc) and chestContinue reading “Prayers for Eloise – in St George’s hospital”
The not-so normal Normal
Thank you to those of you who continue to pray and think of Eloise. We don’t write on this blog so often now that we aren’t in the acute phase of treatment but thought we should do a little update. The last few weeks have been a little challenging. Eloise has had a couple ofContinue reading “The not-so normal Normal”
MRI & CT Results
This afternoon we met with Eloise’s neurosurgeon at St George’s who informed us of the great news – Eloise’s MRI and CT confirmed that there is No Evidence of Disease. She continues to be cancer free. Furthermore, the scans confirmed that the ‘lesion’ is microangiopathy/calcification. It remains right in the middle of Eloise’s brain stemContinue reading “MRI & CT Results”
MRI and busy month of appointments
The start of the new school year has gone wonderfully smoothly; Anna has settled extremely well in her new school and is loving being at the same school as Eloise. Eloise is enjoying seeing all her friends again and continues to make progress in her learning and development. Her energy levels have significantly improved sinceContinue reading “MRI and busy month of appointments”
Disney and Manchester
It’s been a while since we last posted and, in that period, Eloise has been doing wonderful well. Eloise’s speech and visible strength continue to slowly improve, and she is increasingly able to integrate into a more ‘normal’ life for her age. For example, she can now get around most soft plays independently and hasContinue reading “Disney and Manchester”
Calcification lesion
Last week, whilst putting the girls to bed, we had a call from Eloise’s neurosurgeon at St George’s. He was phoning to go through Eloise’s MRI with us in more detail. He confirmed that Eloise remains with No Evidence of Disease and that there was no sign of low or high pressure/hydrocephalus, but said thatContinue reading “Calcification lesion”
Eloise’s MRI Results
On Wednesday afternoon we received the fabulous news that Eloise’s MRI came back clear – with no sign of recurrence or metastasis or hydrocephalus! We certainly let out a sigh of relief when meeting with the oncologist and receiving this news. Whilst we try to remain calm and confident ahead of scans and their results,Continue reading “Eloise’s MRI Results”
Marking a Massive Milestone – Eloise’s 4th Birthday. And an MRI tomorrow…
Today, Eloise turned 4! If you have been following this blog for a while, you might remember that we have for a long time been saying that this was the point we were hoping to somehow reach! When diagnosed, Eloise’s statistical odds were awful (10%, at the very most 20% chance of surviving). But, weContinue reading “Marking a Massive Milestone – Eloise’s 4th Birthday. And an MRI tomorrow…”
Eloise honoured at school
Yesterday, Eloise’s school (Rydes Hill Preparatory School and Nursery) marked the 2 year anniversary of Eloise’s tumour being removed, by awarding her a special girdle in the main school assembly. It was so honouring of the school. The Headteacher explained to the whole school a little of what Eloise had been through, calling her aContinue reading “Eloise honoured at school”
