One of my leukemia patients, Kadia, went home last week. She has been here since December 23. She went home only once for less than 2 weeks during the entire 6 months. She has become part of the hospital. I looked forward to our dance parties each morning and laughing and giggling together. I'm glad she is able to go home because that means she is in remission and doing better but it is sad that we don't get to see her everyday.
Before she left I had her over and let her have henna put on her feet as a special treat for her and her mom.
Tired of the long process
But very happy with the outcome.
Giving some love on one of her last days
Her last ride around the hospital with fellow leukemia patient, Francois.
The gang. L to R: Djara (type 1 diabetic), Francois (leukemia), Balla (colon cancer), Kadia, her mom and brother Amos.
One last ride on the golf cart.
We passed by her town on Saturday on our way to Bamako so we stopped in to say hello.
It was fun to see her.
Brett and Amosi.
In front of their {little} house. Dawson took the picture so the end of the house is cut off but it does end right where the picture is cut off.
Unfortunately, they called us while in Bamako that she was throwing up and had fever. So on our way back to Koutiala we stopped by and picked her up to take her back to the hospital. Poor girl was not happy. Hopefully it will be a short stay and she'll be able to stay at home for more than 6 days.
So fun to see these photos too!
