Ida is done with her treatment, sooner than expected, and we all went home tonight. She feels fine, most of the time. She had some fever during the day, not too high, maybe because of the medication. It was not enough to keep us in the hospital, however.
We'll be back there on Sunday for a blood test and then on Monday for treatment.
Every time we check in for treatment a needle is inserted in Ida's chest (in her port-a-cath). Most of the chemo is administrated intravenously. On Sundays before treatments blood can be taken from the finger.
It turns out that as long as Ida is relatively healthy, going in and out of the hospital so often is the hardest part of this whole story. After this Monday we have, for the first time, two weeks until the next treatment. Still, they need to check her blood 2-3 times a week...
In the picture you can see Ida fighting boredom...

Hi Moran, Camilla and Ida,
My sister just called me from Israel and gave me the news.
It breaks my heart to hear it,
But I see your beautiful girl so happy and confident in her photos and it shows how much love she gets- and that’s maybe the best medicine.
Would like to help in anyway I could, don’t be shy.
Love,
Nachshon (from the kibbutz, remember?)
Hi Moran, Camilla, and Ida,
I just talked to Field Marshal Ayelet, back at the Ramah, and heard the regrettable news about your lovely daughter.
I was happy to hear that the medical facilities in Sweden are top-notch, and that you all are keeping up the (combined Israeli-Nordic) spirit! --we are all certain that this situation will work out for the best, and that Ida will be 100% healthy very soon. As you may recall, we live in Boston, so if there is any thing we can do - pls do not hesitate to contact us. All the best!! Micol, Yoel, Sabina, and Oz
Dear Moran, Camilla and lovely Ida,
I just talked to Ayelet and my heart goes out to you. I read your blog and was amazed to see your lovely Ida and read about your journey.
What can one say? What can I say when I see a beautiful 18 months old baby ill?
By reading the bolg I can tell you are strong and full of love for her and that she is one tough kid, with a passion for life and that she will overcome all hardships and do so with a smile.
I hug you from afar, and although praying is foreign to me, I will be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts from Israel.
Be strong.
Love - Adi & Kiko Garinkol (Bnei-Atarot)
Vackra lilla duktiga Ida.....
