What a year! It's not all been bad... 2008 saw us coming home for good, it was filled with hope that Kyah was in remission, we got five fantastic months without any major treatments or illness, she got a few months without the need for her 'wiggles' or her ng tube and most importantly, we got to see what normal was like again.
