On Thurs. Jan. 18th/07, Nadia had a few procedures done in the OR. Nadia had a spinal tap done for a test the doctors are doing...her right eye( which is the eye with the most damage from the chemical burns that occured during her brain surgery) was worked on by the opthamologist and Nadia had all of her baby teeth removed... there can be some complications with the chemo that can cause serious complications with her baby teeth so they remove them to avoid any chance for infections. It will take a couple of years for the adult teeth to grow in....Nadia has been enjoying eating a range of popsicle colours over the week end..red, blue,orange...
On Fri. Jan. 19th/07, Nadia had to go back into the OR to have a line/catheder put into her chest(into the heart) so she doesnt have to endure repeated needles and IV's during her treatments. Her veins are so tiny and weak and it is so painful to be stuck daily. Nadia also had a G Tube put into the side of her stomache...so she can receive constant nutrition and calories she so badly needs....to gain weight and be strong to endure her treatments and fight her monster...the cancer.
That eveving Claude and the kids arrived for their week end visit....they stayed at the Ronald MacDonald House right near the hospital. From what I have heard from Gina....it is very nice and fun for the other 3 children.
Nadia was in so much pain that evening after the surgery..much more than usual...at first they thought there might be a complication from the surgery...she was in too much pain....it took a while for them to realize that maybe she was allergic to the pain medicine they were giving her. Morphine was the same medicine she had after her brain surgery 3 weeks ago and now explains why she had so much difficulty recovering...after they changed the pain medicine...her pain was controlled and she was doing so much better.
I called the hospital last night around 10:00pm and Nadia answered...Gina had just stepped out of the room....I had a wonderful chat with her...she is still just as sweet as she was prior to all of this nightmare she and her family have endured.
I am going to the bank today to finally open the account so I can post it on this site...I will also email the info to as many friends and family that I have email addresses for. If anyone has any questions or comments please feel free to email me at
