Another nice weekend

Niamh is impressing us with her energy level at this stage in her treatment.

Yesterday she was up at 5.45am, baking muffins and cake for Emilie's school fair by 8am. She had a short lie down before going to Emilie's school fair early afternoon. By the time we got home I expected her to have a sleep but no, she wanted to do more hand and foot painting, her new favourite activity (messy business).

Today, up at, hmmm, 5.45am again! She enjoyed playing outside with Emilie this morning. By 10am she asked to go back inside, but was sick before I had a chance to move her. I think she had just started to struggle with the heat and the brightness. We waited till after lunch to pass the NG tube and tried to tempt her with various food, but she had none of it. In the afternoon she was all excited about going to her little friend's birthday party (the girls have more of a social life than we do!!!). She loved every minute of it, especially the assault course. When it was time to sit down for food, she wanted a variety of food in her plate. She seemed a lot keener to try the food than at home with us. She eventually tried to put a grape in her mouth, but it must have felt too strange so she took it out. She was very happy to have a few hugs with her little friends.

She still felt great by the time we got home and went to sleep very happy and peacefully this evening.

She is now looking forward to the visit of Tonton Frederic on Tuesday to show him all her new refound skills.

Four days to go and radiotherapy is over.
