Our summer

We think of summer for a time now as a period to pull through somehow. It's a time of holidays and rest for everyone... but for us there's no rest and relaxation... It's getting harder and harder for me to hold together this house of cards alone... it starts to tumble here and there... but still I manage to hold it, so for now it stands.
Our situation is getting worse, since we incurred significant costs of various medications on top of the alternative therapies... and it just gets harder... (not to mention the emotional side of things...)
If you can help us even with the price of an ice-cream, please do, for us with Zorka even that much is a great help.

The second block of 7-day chemotherapy should have started a week ago. However they couldn't start it on Monday, due to the bad blood-picture and the side effects of the treatment, so we got a week. One week of summer... Beside the physical treatments we tried to strengthen the spiritual side of things as well. For 3 days we haven't even left the flat (due to the blood-picture result)... but still we tried to play as much as we could and on Friday we visited her little friends. :-) Her "healing" friends. Zorka was afraid to go, she wouldn't even wanted at first, worrying about "what they would say"? I told her that good friends don't care about whether she has hair on her head or not... I just had to tell her something reassuring, I saw she wanted to go, but she was just afraid...
She was very happy on both days and when we were coming home, she was so sweet, she said with that childish joy: "this was a good day"... and she had that glittering in her eyes, that just says never to give up... "I'd like more days like this!"
When we were playing she didn't think about her illness, she immersed herself totally in the game. But still she pulled her hat tightly on her head whenever it came to her mind. Just in case... It's kind of hard sometimes to tell these little children exactly what is happening with Zorka, why are things the way they are, but they were all very kind and supportive and even with their mere presence they caused much happiness to Zorka. I'm ver happy that fate has given us these two days.
After these 2 happy days, there came 2 days of horror... sickness, pain, suffering, so this happiness didn't last for long.
Strengthened in spirit, but weakened in body, we are leaving for the next treatment tomorrow... this was our summer... we shall see whether the second round of chemo can be started.
