More chocolate! My aunty's Aunt & Uncle came in today to visit Annie. I think they are old & Rich because they retired and moved up to Umina (Woy Woy?)They are so sweet & kind, brought these yummy chocolates and wished Annie all the best And lots of hugs & kisses.
I love keeping Annie company in the hospital. To be honest there is no where else i'd rather be...
Because of this tube that goes from Annie's Brain to her Stomach (the relieve any fluid pressure being built up in her head) - she wakes up feeling nauseous and throws up her breakfast as soon as she finishes eating it :( & this is suppose to stay in her body for the rest of her life ..
Tomorrow is her Stem Cell Collection - they will be running her blood through a machine that collects all her stem cells (which would be damaged if she goes through radiotherapy). It should go for 4 hours or so.
She started crying today because she was frustrated, and a bit scared aswell. She's been in the hospital for over a month now, just sitting/lying in bed all day, only getting up to go to the bathroom.
I took her for a walk down the corridor ( about a 10 mtr trip altogether) and when she got back she was so exhausted. They had to fusion blood into her body the other day because she didn't have enough blood in her system, and she was looking pale.
Poor girl, sometimes i feel like i'm not doing enough cos when she's in pain i cant do anything but hold her hand but is that enough?? I wish i could take this all way, i wish this was happening to me instead of her.

betty great to see your sister is having lots of fun! shes looking very well too!
your sister is so brave. i'm not surprised she feels low sometimes, that's just natural. you're a great sister to her and you're there for her always. that's what she needs from you right now.
i understand the frustration though, it sucks.
babe you are doing plenty :) you're always there for her and just being there shows that you are doing enough for her even if you can't take away the pain you're there to keep her company and that's all that matters
sounds like you are doing all the right things. i cant begin to imagine what your sister, and all of your family are going through. keep smiling, and just being there for her.
betty you're doing a brilliant job, hang in there
