 |
| Hallowe'en at the Ronald McDonald House |
 |
| Morgan is introducing Rati to an IV bag. She has added some watery blue paint to it, so that Rati can see how the fluid moves through the tubing, and into the baby's arm. |
 |
 |
| Recovering from surgery on Monday Nov 1. You can see in the pictures, how Rati patched Dino and her baby's eye to help her prepare for the surgery. |
 |
| Enjoying something to eat after a long day of chemotherapy at the hospital. This was the last eye patched night. |
 |
 |
| Saturday evening (6 Nov), before going to the Etheopean House for dinner. The swelling around Rati's eye is mostly tumour. We hope it will recede as she responds to treatment. |
