Day +18

Posted on: 15/04/2014

Ava's mouth and throat are healing really well. She has bypassed ice cream and gone straight from bear fruit to chicken, such is her determination. Unfortunately the chemo has altered her taste buds, so everything tastes a little weird, but at least she is hungry and trying. She is still receiving full nutrition and hydration IV and so far her weight has stayed exactly the same. We have kept busy today with maths and spellings - sounds cruel but I am trying to keep as much normality as possible! We have also had lots of stories, including a delightful one written by Ava's best friend Luisa and told by her in a charming video.
