In my last update Hannah had to stop the treatment here in Greifswald, Germany after 2 days because of her persistent cough. She has now resumed the therapy as of yesterday. The first week involves a daily injection in her leg of a drug called IL2. She gets this for 5 days and next week she will start the antibody infusions.
We are all staying now at the "Elternhaus" which is for parents of NB children at the hospital here. There are people from many different countries here for treatment.
The photos above are from a place close to Greifswald called Wieck. We were there 2 days ago. It is on the Baltic Sea and very picturesque! Seems to be the place to go around here for a nice walk where you can see many boats and beautiful views over the water.
Will write more as we get further into the therapy.

At least when she is not in treatment, you all can have a picturesque place for a stroll. I am sure having her family all there surrounding Hannah with love and concern will be a big boost to her. Hope she tolerates this treatment with less side effects this time. She is such an amazing young woman. Inspires us all to keep things in perspective. Best of luck this week. Hugs all around.
