Our first full week of treatment is behind us now. Hannah had radiation every day. Quite uneventful, really, as the appointments lasted only 20 minutes or so per day. Next week should be the same and the week after as well.
We moved into the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald house this past week, too. Hannah really loves it here as there are other children to play with and also a pool table, air hockey, table football and more... Her pool game has improved enormously the past week and yesterday she even beat my friend Sam Ruttenberg, who himself is quite a good pool player...! The Ronald McDonald house does a very good job of entertaining the children, too. After dinner they often have either a magician, dogs to play with, hand crafts and other fun things which the children love.
It has snowed here again the past couple of days so Hannah has been outside stomping through the highest snow drifts she can find!
Hi you all!
ReplyDeleteGood to see all the lovely pictures and to hear you are making the most of it all. The pancakes sound fantastic and Hannah shows her good taste in her liking of sushi! Lucky yous in the snow; Horrington is in fog at the moment. We think of you. Lots of love, Derk, Machteld, Folkert and Timon. And Holly the Hoover of course!
Go Ronald!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that all those times we ate burgers and pumped cash into the Mc-machine, turned into some real support, happiness and health for kids.
And way to go Hannah beating Sam Ruttenberg. Anybody working on their pool skils has my full respect!
Love to you all,
Guy
Beste Hannah en familie,
ReplyDeleteIn het Algemeen Dagblad las ik vandaag een berichtje over het benfiet concert en ik herkende direct je naam. In het Sophia Kinderziekenhuis heb ik voor je gezorgd toen je net geopereerd was. Je doorzettingsvermogen en lieve karakter hebben een onvergetelijke indruk om mij gemaakt. Ik wil jou en je familie heel veel beterschap en sterkte wensen!!
Hartelijke groet,
(Zuster) Hester
Beste hannah en familie,
ReplyDeletewe volgen jullie website en blog met veel belangstelling! We bevinden ons nu in hetzelfde spannende traject in voorbereiding op eventuele behandeling in Philadelphia. Onze dochter Lise (5) wordt op dit moment nog bestraald in het Radboud. We hopen aansluitend, ergens begin mei, af te reizen naar Philadelphia voor deze geweldige nieuwe behandeling! Succes en sterkte met de bestraling en immuno therapie dadelijk!
Hartelijke groet,
Alex, Manon, Lise & Femke
