Here she is:
Ida was sick for a while. The first symptoms appeared in the beginning of May. Camilla called me one afternoon and said that Ida wouldn't stand up... Back then she was learning to go, she wasn't walking by herself but with a little help she was a pretty good little walker.
When I came home it was obvious she had pain when trying to stand up - as soon as we tried to make her use her legs she started crying.
The next day we visit the hospital for the first time regarding her condition.
The following weeks were one illness after the other: cold, ear infection, vomiting and so on. Ida did not go or crawled in the beginning but after a while she got better.
But she wasn't walking. She also was weak and was having trouble lifting herself up.
I'll make a (three months) long story short. We were in and out of hospitals a few times, taking tests (blood, ultrasound, x-ray, DNA) and getting no answers. The theories ranged from a simple virus to en irreversible genetic condition. None of them were right.
And we knew that something was wrong.
But a week ago she got real sick.

Hi Moran and Camilla (and Ida of course)!
Down in Israel, thinking about you and sending you a lot of love. I know all of you are strong, and although I felt like someone hit me in the stomach when I read about the leukemia, I hope and think you'll make it. Believe in you!
Love and kramar, Avital
