After a year in remission, symptoms began to return and Ella\u2019s family were told they would have to leave their home in Hobart immediately for six-months of intensive treatment at the RCH.<\/p>\n<p>Although Ella cannot often leave the ward at the moment due to her low immune system, she is still able to keep up to date with her school work with help from her teachers at the RCH Education Institute who visit daily. \u201cThey are doing an amazing job here to link her in,\u201d said mum Kerryn. Ella also has the support of her teachers back home. \u201cShe\u2019s in constant correspondence with her teachers and her class back home, and she\u2019ll Skype into the classroom. With a bit of luck, when we get back she can slide right in\u201d said Kerryn.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Ella's brave fight\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goodfridayappeal.com.au\/news-display\/ella-gives-another-lesson-in-courage\/67006\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to read Ella\u2019s full story on the Good Friday Appeal website.<\/p>\n<p>Donate to The Royal Children\u2019s Hospital Good Friday Appeal at <a title=\"Good Friday Appeal\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goodfridayappeal.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">goodfridayappeal.com.au <\/a>or phone 9292 1166.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Courageous five-year-old, Ella Van Den Heuvel, begins her first year of school this year at The Royal Children\u2019s Hospital, fighting cancer for the second time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7198,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-good-friday-appeal","category-in-the-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2488"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2488\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2510,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2488\/revisions\/2510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.rch.org.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
