Re: 1st Casting Date for Isabelle set - Tues 30th November (update)

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone, just wanted to let you know things didn't quite go to plan this

week..

I had a case of mummy's intuition it was just not the right 1st step for

Isabelle's treatment and it would be better to progress further with the

Specialist in Sydney. The specialist in Melbourne was not happy with my trust

issues with his opinion for treatment and hence formally withdrew from treating

Isabelle and Isabelle had a fever on Monday! So Tuesday was not meant to be.

We are now booked in for casting in Sydney on 16/12 with Dr G who is the most

Mehta aligned specialist from my discussions with others and research.

Pictures posted of Isabelle to the site today.
