Latest update
Trial cancelation 19 September 2024
It absolutely breaks us to share that Meila is no longer eligible for the trial in America. We were meant to be heading there next week to start the trial ... Meila has deteriorated this past week and is really struggling. While I will NEVER give up helping her fight, I'm also making sure she isn't in pain.
We are currently in hospital in Chch and we will be hoping to get her home next week so she can spend time with her loved ones.
Miracles do happen and we will be praying hard for one for our Meila - Thank you for the continued well wishes and prayers...
