Hey team!

I need your help!
Does anyone locally ( Taranaki) make cakes and think they can recreate the iconic Matilda chocolate cake? You know the one… the giant, rich,fudgey,moist, Bruce Bogtrotter masterpiece 🍫🎂

( Hobby or business )

It’s for Bodhi’s birthday on the 26th of February, so needing it around then.

Tag your people or send me their details please!

Bodhi’s port removal update!

Today went really, really well.
Bodhi was honestly amazing!
he has grown so much, and we are just so incredibly proud of him.

Even having his IV line done in theatre… bloody incredible. Such a big moment, and he handled it like a champ. The surgery itself was very straightforward and went smoothly. The whole team were amazing and we felt so well looked after.

After recovery, we were transferred from post-op to the children’s ward because some bloods that had been taken in theatre were flagged on the system and needed to be repeated ASAP, We believe it was just a dud test or possibly because he’d been fasting for so long. Either way, all repeat bloods came back with great numbers 🙌

Now we’re just waiting on a call tomorrow for the official go-ahead to stop his weekend meds.. YAY!!!

We kept his port so we can add it to a keepsake alongside other meaningful pieces from his journey 🤍

One moment that really caught me off guard today was reading his paperwork and seeing his diagnosis listed under “previous medical history”
ALL B-cell lineage.
Not current. Previous.
That single word meant more than I can put into words. It showed exactly where we’re at now, and just how far Bodhi, and all of us, have come.

And just to top it all off… he’s already back to his usual wild self 😂😂

Thank you all so much for the love, support, and constant cheering us on. We feel it every step of the way.🫶🏻🙌🏻🥹

Bodhi is having his port removed.

This is something we dreamed of for so long. A moment that once felt years away… a tiny, dim light at the end of a very long tunnel. For a long time it didn’t feel real, or even reachable.

And now, it’s here.

Bodhi is excited and so are we. We’re also emotional in a way that’s hard to explain. It feels like forward movement in the biggest sense, and a chapter quietly closing.

If you’re reading this, we’d love you to be part of it, send Bodhi all the post surgery speedy recovery vibes as he takes this huge step forward 🥹💪🏻🎉

New glasses coming soon 👓✨

After TWO YEARS with his very first pair… which he somehow managed to lose recently (RIP) 😅, it was definitely time for an upgrade.

We stuck with Nano frames because they survive rough-and-tumble play… and the occasional emotional yeet 🫠🙃
Can’t wait for these to arrive, we already love them!

What’s the bet his old ones magically show up soon after 🙈
We always have a good time going to Stratford Optometrists , even if Bodhi insists he really just needs the full range of safety glasses and sunnies 😂🤦‍♀️

Today Bodhis little sister Molly turns 4 🎂🥳

Which means, for the next few weeks, we officially have TWO four-year-olds in the house, until Bodhi turns 5 at the end of February 😅

Born 11 months apart.
Raised like twins.
Same energy. Same volume.

If anyone needs us, we’ll be...
• breaking up tiny human arguments
• negotiating snacks
• wondering how they are the same age 😆

Happy birthday Molly 🎉

Last night Bodhi slept without his dummy for the first time 🥹

It stayed with him far longer than most, and very intentionally.

During treatment, hospital appointments, fear, and overwhelm, it was a huge source of comfort for him. Bodhi is autistic, and that little dummy helped him regulate when his world felt completely out of control.

Yes, he was very attached to it 😅 but it was a battle we never wanted him to lose when it was giving him so much safety during such a hard season of his life.

It broke yesterday, and we knew it was time. Treatment is finished, and somehow… he was ready.

He did amazingly. Another quiet step forward. So proud of this brave boy 👏🏻🫶🏻
