Update on Del #4

Del's contagious smile! (Picture taken on 28th September 2007)

Del’s courage and her strength was very inspiring to me as I had the opportunity of spending a few days with her. She is so strong!

Her Aunty Robyn was able to organise an electric hospital bed, a wheel chair, a walker and a support for the bath making it easier for her to shower. These are free and on loan from the State government.

She is needing a little stronger pain killers each day and still struggles with nausea thus making it hard to keep food down.

Since Robyn is back at her other job, a carer (Simone) is helping to look after Del along with one of her mates, KJ, from WA. The community nurses (district nurses) are coming in daily to keep an eye on her condition and medication etc.
