Monday 20 September

Solvej is still staying with our Dad in Hermanus. She is recovering well and is feeling much more herself at the moment. Although she is still weak, she is getting stronger every day. Pappa is making sure she is going for regular walks around the block, which is great considering she could not even get out of bed without some help a few weeks ago. The idea is that she will hopefully feel strong enough to go on a little adventure with Pappa and Georgie soon.

The doctor is also happy with her progress and has decided that it would be best to continue with the chemo for the next while. Solvej will have chemo two Fridays on and then one Friday off and so on. She has had chemo for the last two Fridays so this coming Friday will be her Friday off.

Solvej had a great birthday on the 8th of September, surrounded by her family and friends. Georgie cooked a special lunch for Solvej on the day. A number of friends and work colleagues popped in throughout the week to wish her happy birthday and shower her with gifts and yummy food. She felt thoroughly spoilt. Sadly Gustav, Brenda and family left for home in the UK last Wednesday after a two and a half week visit. It was a really special time together as a family; the nieces and nephew loved spending time with their aunty and they were all very sad to say goodbye.
