Today was a lovely day
We had a lovely day together. Georgie had a good nights sleep (and so did I) and after a sleep in we pottered about for the morning. She wrote in her journal while I did some little chores and got organised. We had a lovely lunch with the girls. Just what Sally needed!!! And Kate kindly picked us up and delivered us home so we headed out for a walk later on when it is cooler. We met the Wigan ladies for coffee (and pizza) and Bent, our friend from Bangkok found us at Cafe Bev which was lovely. G and I then pottered around Orchard in between phone calls from Bangladesh. She is very nervous about her next trip to hospital tomorrow morning for another big round of chemo so we have to talk through this often. She is so good with taking her yucky Vit P (pill) but it is a bit of a process three times a day. Shall let you know how we go tomorrow. Sx

Singapore Update
Hello all,
A little news update on the Singapore and Dhaka front.
Lovely Georgie has managed to get control of the bacterial infection with the help of some good antibiotics and plenty of quiet time. The infection was traced back to her nose so it has been a warning of how susceptible she will be to air born bacteria.
I was hoping to send this update with the results of Tuesdays tests but no news as yet. George will be having a one chemo drug treatment this morning and Sally and Mike are hoping that it will be a short visit.
So far the chemo treatments have not had any adverse side effects but it is certianly leaving her very tired and without much energy. She is maintaining a healthy appetite (eating two serves of scambled eggs in one sitting yesterday morning) and keeping herself distracted with drawing and playing some one on one games with Sally and Mike in between big sleeps.
Catie is being very strong as the big sister in residence but aching with the loss of her everyday existence with Sal, Mike and buddy George. Catie and Charle's stand in parents, Sandy and Mark and their daughter Clancy are being absolutely fantastic and our thoughts are with them as they manage their new 5 member family life and create and keep the sunshine in Catie's, Clancy and Charles day. Huge thanks to them for the selfless support and help!!
At this stage the plan is for Mike to fly to Dhaka around the 22 Feb and finish up with the packing in readiness for a final departure on the 25. Mike's last day in Dhaka will involve managing a final hand over/board meeting (joy) and then emotional final farewells, before making his way to the airport with his treasured cargo, Catie and Charles!
Love to all,
