Thank you to everyone for the absolutely overwhelming support - we are speechless, and never expected this much help from friends, family, colleagues, clients and complete strangers. You are wonderful people, and we will make sure that every penny is spent wisely on making Liam and Nathan comfortable during this time.

Liam's first round of chemotherapy is over - he is doing well, and so far the only side effect is that he is extremely tired after each treatment. We are now entering our 2 weeks of recovery from the drugs, before hitting them again. This does not mean two weeks of lounging on the couch, watching TV though. Today we have another MRI scheduled to check Liam's spine and make sure that the cancer is limited to the brain. After that it's stitches out time - brain only, the central line stitches are staying another week - much to Liam's regret, as all he wants to do is get back into his push-ups! If all is healing nicely though, he has his doctors' (and mum's) permission to proceed with the exercises.

Liam's goal in life is to be the strongest person alive - or at least stronger than Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson - his biggest idol. He is gutted by this setback, but we keep telling him that if he can beat Jeff the Jerk, then he is on the right path to achieving his dream - he is such a determined little man, and that determination, along with his always positive attitude, is what will get him through this and make him the strongest. It blows us away that with everything he has to face still, he is smiling and joking every single day.

Please keep sending us all your positive thoughts and vibes, keep us in your prayers, and even though we may not reply immediately, please do continue to send us messages - we appreciate every message we receive and the strong love and support we are feeling.
