It is said that every cloud has a silver lining.
For the family of adorable Indigo, that dark grey cloud was learning of her T-Cell Lymphoma diagnosis, aged just 15 months, and the lengthy chemotherapy battle that lay ahead.
Two-and half-years of treatment felt like a lifetime to Mum, Ella.
¡°The silver lining was that we now feel like we have such close friends, even a family, at Gold Coast University Hospital,¡± Ella said. ¡°Coming here for treatment has always been like stepping into a second home.¡±
¡°We were always in such good hands when we would turn up in the middle of the night to the Paediatric Ward,¡± she said, ¡°especially when Indie had a lung infection after battling COVID.¡±
Their ¡®second home¡¯ in Children¡¯s Outpatients is always filled with joyful play, bubbles and balloons ¨C Indie¡¯s favourites ¨C thanks to her care team, including Nurses, Liz and Emma (pictured) who would go above and beyond to raise smiles and laughter.
In little over a week Indie¡¯s treatment will finally be complete.
¡°We are so incredibly lucky to have this relationship with the beautiful team at Gold Coast University Hospital,¡± Ella said.
¡°Finishing treatment is bittersweet because we will miss our nursing family.¡±
Well done, Indigo!!
