\"IMG_3456[1]\"<\/a>\u00a0 Today we had a very, very special show and tell time.\u00a0 Holly brought in her special beads – a record of her time and her treatment in hospital.\u00a0 We were all amazed by the length of the string of beads.\u00a0 “There are 105!” Holly told us, “and each bead means something different.\u00a0 She told us the yellow beads were when she had a sleepover in hospital and she had quite a few of them.\u00a0 All\u00a0 the colours of the beads represented something and Holly could tell us what every colour meant-\u00a0 from anti-biotics to cannulas, to changes to her wiggly – the line she gets her treatment through.\u00a0 She also showed us the special bead that she got the day she found her hair on her pillow and the special anchor bead she got when she had a chest infection.<\/p>\n

Holly describes all this so knowledgeably and cheerfully – she has an incredible knowledge of what has happened and what her medicine does.\u00a0 She was happy to share her experiences with us and without wanting to sound overly slushy or sentimental – it was a beautiful experience.\u00a0 Her friends were very interested and asked her loads of questions.\u00a0 We overheard a conversation in the hall about the bead she got when she lost her hair- “I like short hair – I got mine cut” said Ava.\u00a0 “My brothers teeth fall out,”\u00a0 said Ruari- “Big ones grow in and the wee ones fall out”\u00a0 “I saw all my big teeth on an x-ray in hospital” Holly told us.\u00a0May told\u00a0her the tooth fairy comes, if you left your teeth under your pillow and leaves you money.\u00a0 The conversation then naturally moved to how much money you might get from the tooth fairy.<\/p>\n

Holly is a very special and bright wee star.\u00a0 Her courage\u00a0and resilience are truly \u00a0inspirational.\u00a0 She knows that she still has more beads to collect\u00a0 and she has told us that when she collects more she will bring them in and tell us about them.\u00a0 A huge thank you to Holly for bringing in her bead and sharing her stories, and to Kathryn, Holly’s mum for letting us share this with you.<\/p>\n
