Anzac Day - treatment day 3

In the evenings we are so exhausted... the days are pretty exhausting so we all slept well and as usual, Darcy the monkey awoke early and begged that she could jump on Yanna to wake her up.  Emphatic "no" was the answer.  Poor Yanna, just wants to sleep.  We will have a sleep this afternoon to restore our energy levels.  I think most kids have "hit the wall" after the excitement of the first days.

So, Stop motion pictures taken, iBook downloaded (The Famous Five) and then off to breakfast.  Just as we were walking past the Sports Bar, my ipad skype rang and it was Matthew but we couldn't get a connection.

Breakfast was a bit rushed this morning, but never the less we make it to the medical centre on time.  We leave all the stuff you need for the "treatment" in the solarium and then walk down the stairs to the DS.  The Professor greeted us with an enormous cuddle for Darcy.  She really is passionate about what she does and loves it.  I took the photograph attached at this time.

The long march down to the water, enjoying the spectactualar panoramic view across to Isreal.  A beautiful clear morning with just light cloud.  We like light cloud cover.

830am - 15mins in the DS - no stinging anywhere today, we are getting used to it.  Then out and back up to the Prof at the top of the stairs.  "15 Mins each position - 4 positions".  That was for Darcy. Yanna splashed (accidentally) water on her face this morning and it became quite inflamed and red and very itchy.  We had to rinse that thoroughly as it was quite panful for her.

Even with the light cloud, it was still pretty hot for the girls.  Slathered in their special "german home brew" cream they get quite hot and sweaty.

As Yanna read The Famous Five to three of the girls, I fanned, ferried water, kept the naked kids in the correct positions and tried to source a fan.  We found one and got it working through one dodgy power point.  The Prof came in to inspect and advised various things to the various paients.

One hour is a long time to lie in the sun so the kids get bored and hot and irritated.  Bless them, they stick it out!  We did move about half way through such that their heads were in the shade which bought some relief.

No pool today as advised by the Prof.  I know my girls are really exhausted.  Lunch is soon then wee will have a nap.  330pm another treatment, then kids club (this is when I do a run & swim).  6pm we have an appointment with the Prof to assess Darcy's eczema which is clearing up beuatifully, then tonight there is Vitiligo BBQ.  THe kids are excited.

Happy Anzac to all.  Any winners in 2-up?  Thanks to the Finters of Mudgee for thier well wishes.  Love to all and more later.  xxxLY&D
