OFF TO GERMANY 29 September 2024
It's been quite touch and go for us. Meila is now home, she's having good days and bad days ... we have enrolled her in a cell immunotherapy clinic in Germany to help her. Meila has had lots of control of what we do next ... we are wanting her to make decisions with us for what she wants to do. We have made the decision to go. It's an expensive process so I understand why it's hard for people to do it. We are so grateful for what we have raised to contribute towards getting her there. She will need to go to Germany approx 3 times. Then booster shots 6 monthly from what I have been told right now. I will be able to keep everyone updated when we get to Germany and start the process
We are currently trying to make sure meila is well enough to travel next week ... but she's so strong I believe in her so much ❤️
