A night at the hospital

Last night we had to go to the hospital as Saskia did not feel very well. She was admitted to the oncology ward at the Womens & Children Hospital. The tumor in her neck was realy hurting and she had a bit of a fever. It is always better to have that monitored at the hospital than from home.

In the morning the doctor came to tell some very good and encouraging news: the bone scan of yesterday was all clear! Thank God for that. The bone marrow scan was performed today as well.

Saskia still has to stay in hospital as she remains having a bit of a fever and her neck is realy stiff and hurts a lot.

Her class 4SM from St. Marks school in Mount Barker has made some wonderful cards with photo's of all her class mates whereby each of them has written a personal note. They had also made some little angels to remind her that God's angels are always watching over her. Well done for that class!

Later in the day our minister (Campbelltown Christian Reformed Church) came for a quick visit, as well as the Blades family who brought some cards and presents from Tyndale (her previous school). It's always good to see so much support. And last but not least, her good friend Jaymee came to see her for a while!

After all visitors were gone, we read through most of the comments on this blog. Reading all those comments brought a big smile on her face. It is truly heartwarming to see so much support from all over the world!
