Treatment Day 5

Oh my heavens, this place is hot.  I thought it was hot last week, but it is so hot.
Yesterday on our trip to Petra, the Prof sent a message to us that treatment will start at 8am, half an hour earlier than normal.
So the girls snaffled a pastry from the buffet and we set off down to the Medical Centre.  Yanna sat out of todays dip in the DS as yesterday with all the walking she has a slight bit of chafing on her legs.  This would hurt in the DS.  So Darcy and I ventured in.  At 810 we got out (still 15mins but we were a bit early) and headed up to the Solarium.
HOT, so hot!  Darcy really struggled this morning.  The sun is not at all burning, it is just so hot.  I fan her continuously for one hour. One girl feinted this morning.  The Prof was there (she is here with her father - so hard for those girls as there is no one to look after them) and looked after her.  She was OK.  She had not had breakfast so it was all too much.  Darcy cried in bits and I ended up moving her head into the shade (this is OK to do) for the last bit.  4 positions of 15 minutes each is quite a long time.  All the mums (and Yanna) work together to help each other.  One of the girls Dad just arrived and he brought her a little plug in fan.  Best present ever.  That would not be any good for us as the power point next to Darcy's spot, does not work.  Mum's fanning will have to suffice.
We went to breakfast afterwards, then down to the pool for our 45 mins of pool time.  This was the first time that I could sit down and relax since arriving. It is welcome relief to not cook / clean etc, but still aint no holiday.
The treatment time this afternoon is pushed back to 4pm to try and avoid some of the heat.
