Isolation!!

THURSDAY 10th NOVEMBER:

This morning, Joni-Mai was moved into isolation. She had a bit of a loose cough which worried the doctors - passing infection onto another cancer patient could be devastating - so they thought it better to be safe, rather than be sorry. She was put in a side room and the door was to be left closed. People coming in had to wear aprons and had to wash hands thoroughly before leaving the room - to stop the spread of infection.

School was a no-no today. Unfortunately, there were musicians coming in to play for the children and run a music workshop for the children but thankfully, the teacher's assisstant had thought of Joni-Mai and arranged for them to come to her room and play some music for her. When they came in, they told her the story of The Grasshopper and The Ants - an Aesop Fable.

The piece of music was called La cigale et la fourmi, you can listen to it on this video:

Joni-Mai really enjoyed the music workshop and was a very happy girl for the rest of the afternoon. She spent another evening being poorly, her medicine is making her very sick and all the anti sickness medicine is not helping her at all. After an evening with Daddy and watching "Johnny English" she went to sleep (in between being sick and running to the toilet...) ready to return home in the morning!

Thank you to Gramma, Nanny & Aunty Linda for coming to see us today and for bringing Daisy to see her big sister, too!
