VIDE 4

MONDAY 19th DECEMBER:

This week saw the completion of VIDE 4. After discussing the anti-sickness program and what was working, it was decided to put the next level into play. The introduction of a drug called Nozinan finally stopped the sickness. Although it makes Joni-Mai VERY sleepy and turns her into a zombie, it stops her from feeling sick which in turn, stops the vomiting! This made the week a little easier for us, particularly after the news of her surgery (I will elaborate in the next post!). In all, this week was rather uneventful - aside from leaving parties for two girls who have finished their treatment. Addie had finished her treatment for Spindle Cell and Sasha was saying goodbye after finishing treatment for a tumour on her rib and who had had spinal surgery. Joni-Mai was allowed home on the 23rd of December and was able to celebrate Christmas with the rest of us! It was a very quiet one but it was enjoyable. More so, because Joni-Mai was at home and not in hospital.
