    Raquel started diaylis on the 15th of April we spend a whole week doing training at the RENAL Centre at Waikato .The weekend we went home and she was put on a cycle machine that runs 9 hours during the evening do the diaylis all was going well until the Tuesday where I woke up to find Raquel unconscious as her sugar was high due to the glucose of the diaylis and she had a infection and was admitted to Hospital where she spend another week.The diabetic team came out and helped us with a new plan to manage the sugars and she was on Iv antibiotics .She recovered well and has been a few days at home now the diaylis is going well and she has dropped over 7kg of fluid so she's able to sleep in bed at night and we can see our daughter slowly become and look like her normal self.Her energy levels have increased Unfortunately the diaylis is a daily struggle but she slowly learning to cope with this and make it part of her daily routine.Thankyou for everyone that had donated and taken time to check in with us .And a big thankyou to the RENAL team at Waikato I hope someday il be able to repay your kindness. THE LAST FEW DAYS BEFORE HER PAGE CLOSE WE HAVE NOT REACHED OUR GOAL BUT ARE THANKFUL FOR EVERY CENT AND HOPING TO REACH THE HALFWAY MARK BEFORE THE 20TH OF MAY .A BIG THANKYOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE .

    Raquel had the catheter placed into her belly on the 2nd of April and will be starting way sooner diaylis as her body is holding to much fluid. The Dr doesn't want to risk her health any further.The family wants to thank everyone for all there support from donations, gifts and all the prayers. Through all of this Raquel remains strong and is a true champion fighter .
