The Wiggles, 7 Oct 06

Saturday, 7 October
Olivia was due to finish her chemo at around midday today. We spent the morning trying to amuse her as she was still determined to go for a walk. At around 11am, we were sitting on Olivia’s bed with the nurse, trying to change her dressing and who should walk into the room? Anthony, Jeff, Dorothy the Dinosaur, one of the Red Coat Dancers and Anthony’s family. We couldn’t believe our eyes. It was the best surprise! Anthony brought in his guitar and they sang four or five songs including Rock-a-bye Your Bear, Fruit Salad and the Monkey Dance. Anthony’s daughter, Lucia, gave Olivia a present (a tutu her grandmother made), Dorothy gave her a soft Dorothy toy and Anthony and Jeff brought in more Wiggles merchandise for the kids. It was absolutely fantastic! They really lifted everyone’s spirits, including the parents. What a wonderful bunch of people! Oh and thanks so much Dad – you brought big smiles to all of our faces!
