Another windy day at Cue.  Yesterday we all went into the bush, I stayed by the car with Timmy and Yvonne took Urkel for a walk.  Straight away he started eating grass then he spent most of the day walking about, drinking water and throwing up.

Yvonne and I came back to the caravans with the dogs and eventually he settled down, I think he had something stuck in his throat and was trying to remove it.  He's okay today and they've gone back and I'm in the caravan with Tim.

Had a lovely day yesterday.  We were all having a drink outside when we were approached by a man who asked if we were the people with the Cystic Fibrosis caravan.  He gave us a $50.00 donation and told us that in the 80s he taught a boy who had C.F.  When he was 14 and the boy was dying he asked to see his old teacher and they spent some time together.  This guy was so upset when he was talking to us.  It was so sad but heartwarming that the boy wasn't forgotten and his old teacher wanted to make a difference to the C.F. people of today.

This journey is not just about us seeing Australia.  More than that we wanted to bring to the general public the fact that Cystic Fibrosis is affecting so many Australians.  Who could not be affected by the image of Paige being fed an extremely high fat mix through a surgically induced tube in her stomach.  She also has a port under her arm which is used when she has to have massive doses of antibiotics.  This happens on a regular basis and she has to spend 7-10 days in PMH with more time off school while she's treated at home.

We have merchandise to sell and also will take donations.  Please don't hesitate to contact us if you would like to help.
