All the previous chemo's were done sitting up on a Lazy Boy type reclining chair but after last time's "knock-out" and the discomfort of sitting when she felt like sleeping, Judith asked if she could use one of the beds this time. The result was that she slept through most of the infusion which was pretty uneventful. There is now only one more chemo session to go, in two weeks time, and after that the tests to assess the effectiveness of the treatment program - another Gallium and CT Scan. Your continued prayers are really appreciated.
On Tuesday and Thursday Judith played field hockey for the school and their team won both matches. The Thursday game was rather tough and close, taking revengeful pleasure in a 1-0 win over the school that beat them in a shootout in last year's final. Thursday's game was a quarter-final so now they are in the semi's. Click on the picture to enlarge. It's a bit blurry - but then I didn't take the picture :-)
Watching Judith play on Tuesday was her godmother from South Africa, Pat Prinsloo. Pat has been with family and friends in California, Colorado and Washington State and came to us last Saturday. Ingrid and I said goodbye to her at Toronto's Pearson Airport at 4:15 AM on Thursday morning - barely 5 hours after a great farewell dinner at Al Gonquin's restaurant where Judith used to be a server. They still remember her there and gave her an employee discount!
