When we were at SCH, we told Kessia how much we trusted the doctors, that
they were the best doctors in the whole of Australia who helped kids just like
her with tumours get better. That that was their job. Her job was to have the
radiation "medicine" which was like magic fairy dust that she couldn't see or
feel or hurt her. 
After our second shot at radiation treatment proved unsuccessful, and given Kessia's extremely fragile condition at the time, our doctor basically advised us to give up the treatment.
We told Kessia we had talked to her doctors, and that we told them what she had said to us: that the treatment was too difficult for her and that she didn't want to have it anymore. We told her the doctors agreed because they could see how great she was and what a fantastic family we were, and that they could tell that Geoff and I could really look after her properly. We told her that a few very special, lucky kids were allowed to go home without treatment and that we would help her get better with a combination of love medicine, fun medicine and doctor medicine.
From that point on, Kessia has improved a little each day.
She knows it may take a long time to get better, but she is surrounded by
hope. All she knows and needs to know for now, is that we are all loving
her and caring for her and praying for her to get better very soon.
