Pour quoi frog?

Why frogs? Well, why not. These frogs are for Darcy, who has been in isolation in The Sydney Children's Hospital. If you want to follow Darcy's progress check out the journal updates here: www.caringbridge.org/visit/darcygilmour10/journal

If you want to make a frog you can find instructions at: http://www.savethefrogs.com/teachers/images/Origami-Jumping-Frog.pdf .

If frogs are beyond you, you can also give blood. Details of how available from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

The last post?

Once upon a time there was a Frog and a Potato who got married.


Despite their differences (including ageing and shrinking at completely different rates) they lived happily together and raised many children - all of whom were sent to school to ensure they received a good education (including learning about tolerance, familiarity with the Romeo and Juliet storyline and some basic biology - sadly lacking in the Potato-Frog household).



As well as raising their own myriad children, they were lucky enough to be God Bog Parents to a very special young human named Darcy.


For a long time Darcy was sick - too sick to go to school.  But thanks to some girly stem cells, an incredibly strong will, truckloads of love and support from his amazing family, a ridiculously determined, caring and gutsy doctor (and associated medical team) and rather more drugs than most people (or frogs) take in a lifetime, Darcy got better.

And went back to school.



The end.




Last post - script
Way back in 2010 when the Frogblog started we had no idea where it would take us (Paris, anyone?) but we did work out by early 2011 that Frogs can play a significant part in the healing process and so a committment was made to post something to the Frogblog everyday until Darcy was able to go back to school. 

Job done. 

I'd like to express my thanks to the contributors from around the world (including Finland, Indonesia and Tasmania) and especially to the Irvines, Gina, Melissa and, of course, Megan, Hugh, Mia and Darcy. And to the myraid of photographers and creative artists and bloggers out there whose own froggy works have helped to fill these pages.

Rest assured that this will not be the last you see of the Frogs - they have stories to tell and Iron-Frog meals to cook and a blogspot to do it on. But they feel can relax their daily vigilance now.

Good luck Darcy.


And may the Frogs Be With You.
