Journal of an 18month old leukaemia patient

Intro

Hi, my name is Charley-Rose.  I am currently a few days over 18 months old.  I live with my mum, Kerry, my dad, Rudi and my big sister, Kayla.  Kayla is 7 and is the best big sister ever! 

I have just been diagnosed with Leukeamia. There were no tell tell symptoms, but a routine visit to the Dr prompted him to ask for blood tests as my English Rose skin looked a bit to pale for his liking.  

The first bit

The Dr called my dad just after lunch on Thursday the 3rd of February.  I was sitting in my high chair just finishing my sausages for lunch, (my current favourite food!) and dad's face went a bit funny and had water coming from his eyes.  Very strange!
