Schneider Pediatric Hospital, Petach-Tikva, Israel

In the first week or two of treatment (Chemotherapy, Steroides), Sivan look almost as usuall, happy, smiling & easily laughing, playing, and so on, like every baby at her age (4 months old).
Then, after 2-3 weeks, the side effects started to pop-up. Swellowing, not relaxed or very sleepy, very sensitive to infection + fever & throat fongos, Stridor caugh, lost of voice + unable to cry, sickness, diapers burns, and so on.
The worst for us, among the rest, were 2: Sivan almost stopped smiling and almost can't be heard when crying. How I wish to hear again her strong yell when crying, and wonderfull smiles & laughter when happy.
This image was taken at the early days of disease, when it was very easy to make her laugh.
