Great to see/hear news from the Seymours! Georgie is looking good so I hope the medication will be gentle on her. I know the routine from past experience so I am thinking positive for all of you :) Here in BD life is as usual. Gym, work, home, etc. nothing really exciting, but that is OK. Erik, the ice cream man, had a big concert with his band the No CLUE?s and the Super Mad Cows at the Nordic Club on Thursday night followed by Shams and his band. It was a roaring success with a mad crowd of kids aged 2-13 break dancing in front of the stage and keeping the adults at a healthy distance. Not sure if that is what the club had planned but certainly I think the kids had their best night in Dhaka. Miss McKay, Elliott, Ward, Arestia and Mr Curley came to show their support from AIS/D - more power to them! Apparently there's a new concert planned for May so I guess Dhaka is rocking (well.....)

Take care/marielle

Three Days to Go in Singapore

It is hard to believe that we are only three days away from moving back to Australia to live! We have had a lovely couple of days getting to know each other again and catch up on some sleep after our dreadful Thursday night both in Singapore and in the air for Michael, Cate and Charles. Georgie had treatment on Friday morning and we are off tomorrow morning for the two procedures - bone marrow aspiration and the spinal needle as well as all the chemo drugs. Not sure if they will want to give her anything else. Wait and see. We may also meet Georgie's Sydney doctor tomorrow so that will be wonderful. Michael had an extremely busy five days in Dhaka - lots of hugs (apparently) and not alot of sleep but he survived and made it to the airport Thursday night with two children and a reasonable amount of luggage. He was not totally sure what was in his bags but that was the least of his concerns that night.

We leave after midnight on Wednesday night and arrive at about 11am on Thursday. We will get the children settled and then the three of us will head off to Westmead for orientation and then back the next day to start next phase of treatment.

We shall keep you all posted. Love Sx
