| Princess Emillie Hi All, I haven't been on here for a little while so thought it best I update you all. Over the course of the last month or so Emillie has been in and out of hospital as the GME is really got a hold on her. She has had 3 sessions of chemo as well as taking a lot of medication!!! After the second dose of Chemo Emillie was great for 2 days then became quite withdrawn (her poor tiny body shouldn't have to have all these drugs!!!) She was readmitted and the managed to get her to a stage that she could walk eat and generally be happy in herself, again this lasted about a week and in the end she was going back to walking in circles not being able to stand and not being able to go to the toilet properly herself. Due to the bad effects she was readmitted and they gave her chemo early which seemed to do just the trick. After the 3rd dose she came home and I have to say we had a week with her and she was almost as she was prior to the illness!! Unfortunately she has now taken a bad turn and the drugs don't seem to be working she has gone back to collapsing walking in circles, but now cries alot... Today she has been readmitted and is being given the final drug available to her we will know in 48 hours if this has been a success if she does not respond I am told there is nothing more that can be done for her. It pains me to see how this illness has effected her, it seems she has the more severe form of gme and it was just in the back of her brain but has now spread... I would like to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers it has been of great comfort to me.... Maxine xxx |

| Princess Emillie Hi Julie, Alfie and Lottie, Thank you for your message. Unfortunately Princess came home today but it is not to be for long the final drugs she has had have not worked and I have been told there is nothing more that can be done. I am devasted b this but can't see her suffer, she is now blind in one eye and is losing the use of her back legs. I am hoping to spend the next day or so spoiling her rotten with all her favorite treats. Trying not to think about the day I have to say goodbye!!!!! It has been a tough battle and no amount of money has helped but I have to take comfort from the pleasure she has brought to my life... Maxine and Princess Em xxx |
