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,
Helen xo

ReplyDeleteHi Sal and Georgie
ReplyDeleteTechno illiterate Nic here - just testing out the blog to see if I can manage to work it. Hope today went / is going well. I know it is the dreaded Tuesday but it should be after 5 for you so hopefully should be over. Thinking of you all and we are all looking forward to seeing you very soon. My G was very cute this morning - she said are they really coming to live in Sydney - for real life? You mean it mum, seriously they are staying and not going back for real life!! She couldn't believe it. Take care love nic
I should be in bed but Michael, Cate and Charles are at Zia International checking in and I just have not managed to get into bed. I know that I will regret it tomorrow but just too excited. Had a great chat to Cate in the car to the airport and she sounded great. She said that she believes that Charles feels that he will see Sangma and Suporna again so he was waving and waving while they were crying and crying. Poor girls. Georgie told me before going to bed that tomorrow is going to be a really good day!!! She is doing so well and is just so matter of fact and grown up about her situation. It is amazing. Anyway off to bed for me!! Love to you all. Sx

Hi Georgie & Sally,
ReplyDeleteHope you still remember us. Greetings from Manila.
This is my first time using a blog thingy - hope this note can reach you.
How are you Georgie?? gosh you've grown up so much since last time we saw you. You still look cheerful as always.
By the way, you must be very excited to go back to Oz. I have settled down well in the new school (British School Manila) much bigger school but the friendships in Bangladesh are always memorable.
I & my family wish you well & best wishes for your treatment. You are very brave & strong girl. Our thoughts be with you. Pls keep in touch.
