We were picked up by the hospital's director at our hotel and driven down to Tijuana, Mexico. This of course involved a border crossing and registration. Arrived at the hospital and were introduced to some of the staff and taken to our room, which overlooks the Pacific ocean.
Soroya, head of patient relations and Lourdes (Admin), were on hand to say hello.The nurses and everybody we have met so far are really kind and caring and interested in Maria's case. Dr Martinez did some brief checks on Maria.
Nurse 'Fila' (I think that was how you say it), explained quickly some medication and also the coffee enemas, although Maria had been doing these previously for the last two weeks. We met another couple Dave and Denise who were really friendly and Dave was just coming to the end of the three week course of treatment. They had nothing but praise for the treatment and the staff at the hospital. They mentioned Gar Hildenbrand and Dr Mora (who will be Maria's main physician here), again singing their praises and saying how intelligent they were. We had been watching one of Gar's lectures on a DVD that day, and yes, this guy really knows nutrition and pretty much everything else inside out.
4 pm and Maria has an IV containing multivitamins as well as a shot (Litherin I think). Food has been totally OK. I have not been following such a strict raw diet that Maria had been following, so the change for me was quite substantial, though totally manageable. Feeling very tired, must be jetlag catching up, time for bed.
Had no idea what to expect here in Mexico and the CHIPSA centre, but the feeling is good. Better than all this though, is that I get to spend over a month of dedicated time with the girl I love.
