Day +86

Posted on: 22/06/2014

We had a lovely morning together with Angelina and Aileen before they headed back to London. The ducks and swans at the hospital zoo have never had such a feast of breakfast rolls and we also had time for one last gelato. Ava is rediscovering her sweet tooth and devoured a fresh doughnut. Despite my usual insistence on a super-healthy diet, I am allowing her the odd treat after everything she has been through and also to test whether she is beginning to regain her normal taste buds after the chemo. I was really happy to see this change today. Today was also the last time that Ava and I had to say goodbye to Angelina, which was a fantastic feeling despite Angelina's sadness. We are home in 8 days and counting!
