    Kia ora whanau..Well alot has happened since the last update..River has had surgery where 2/3rds of her liver was removed..This was a success!!! During her recovery her port, which is what they give her chemo and IV medicines through became infected so weve had to get that removed and are now just waiting to get another line put in so that hopefully we can get the 1st of her last lot of chemo b4 the end of the month...This has put us back a few steps with our journey to get home but thats ok..these things happen..She has 3 more treatments of chemo left..These are just to ensure that if anything was left behind the chemo will kill it...These treatments will be 3-4 weeks apart and will be given over 3 days..Hopefully in between we will be able to go back to Gisborne and stay and travel back for her next treatment..This depends on how well she reacts to the chemo..So at the moment whanau that is where we are at..The light at the end of the tunnel is gradually getting closer...All your koha helps us tremendously and we are very grateful...Arohanui❤❤❤

    on behalf of Riv and whanau we'd like to thank all of the generous donors you guys are all amazing and we appreciate you all.

    Riv has now been through 3 lots of chemo and all is going well. She is now being fed through a nasal tube to keep weight on to help her body with the fight...it looks worse than it is 😊 she is now neutropaenic which means she is very susceptable to germs and can become very sick very quickly. All in all her tough little self is responding well to treatment and everything is on track. Mum n Dad are well and coping day to day, learning the ins n outs and how to be doctors and nurses lol

    Once again thank you all for your continued support, aroha and koha ☺
