Ichika Yoneda, a four-year-old girl with cancer lives with her mum, dad, and her younger sister Senri. While she was waiting for her brother to be born, she was told that she had only three months to live. With help from the family, we covered the story of Ichika and the family’s struggle, agonies, and the ultimate decision they made until she took her last breath. Her story takes place at “The Child Chemo House” located in Kobe city. Before moving to the clinic, Ichika was forced to live apart from her family, her mum had to rent an apartment near the hospital and her dad, who worked, could only visit her on weekends. All they wanted was “to live a normal life together”. They want to make their voices heard to improve child medicine via these three months of recordings. We’d like you to consider the hardships these families face during these difficult times.
Director：Yokosuka　Yukino　　Broadcasted on July 19, 2018
がんと闘う米田一華ちゃん（４）はパパとママ、妹・千莉ちゃん（２）との４人家族。弟の誕生も心待ちにしながら病と闘う中、過酷な現実を突きつけられました。余命３か月。神戸にある“おうち診療所”を舞台に取材班は、家族の協力を得て幼い子の看取りまでの家族の葛藤と苦悩、その果ての決断のすべてを記録しました。おうち診療所に転院する前は、一華ちゃんは家族と離れての闘病生活を余儀なくされ、ママは病院の近くにアパートを借り、仕事のあるパパは週末のみしか一華ちゃんと面会できませんでした。家族の願いは、「当たり前の日常を家族一緒に送りたい」「おうち診療所で過ごした３か月の映像から小児医療の充実を訴えて欲しい」リアルな映像を通して“家族の絆を守る医療の充実”を訴えます。

#Stories about children with sickness (#小さな命をみつめて)
Yomiuri TV has been dedicating our efforts to cover stories about children with sickness. We hope that our efforts contribute to a better environment for those children as well as to further the awareness of child medicine in Japan. We have created English subtitles to reach more people in the world. We hope to continue to be a helping hand for the children with sicknesses and their families to enhance their quality of life. Acknowledgment should be given to the two translators; Mr. Takehiro Hashimoto and Mr. Sean Bradley for their dedication.

That is nicely said. This isn't exactly like a pet dying - of course - but that experience is at least something somewhere near as horrendous that many of us *can* identify with. You know that since you have presided over their full life, you have given them the fullest life that you can, and you have been with them all the way. It is the one drop of happiness in an ocean of sadness. But that doesn't take away the fact that there are very few things - if anything - as ghastly and horrifying as having to bury your own children.

The entire staff was phenomenal and it started getting me when they were playing the keyboard for her as she was about to go. I then totally lost it when young Ichika's hand dropped to her side with mother letting her she'll never be alone. Ichika was such a warrior and fought with so much courage and strength. Parents, too...Mom and dad were extremely strong and well composed, I honestly don't know they managed to keep it together.

Nozomi have dream to became a Witch Apprentice since she's playing a Solitaire like card (Nozomi's interest are Witches & spells). Like Ichika, Nozomi already death. After Nozomi's passed away before Doremi gave a good news about Witch Apprentice's agreement from Witch Queen. Shiori, Doremi's friend bringing Nozomi's friend, Genki-kun discharged from Children Hospital, Doremi hugging him with crying. Then, Nozomi's echo saying: "Thank You, Doremi-chan" In Shoujo Manga named Kocchi Muite! Miiko!, Miiko & Mari have friends aspiring became Mangkaka named Nozomi too, She's suffering to Leukimia (like OVA Non-Chan), despite Nozomi's illness, Nozomi's spirit in postive thanks to Miiko & Mari's Moral Support. Nozomi must in opname for removing a Cancer Cell, absence from Suginoki Elementary School at least 1 year. I feel dislike Yasuko & other friend insensitive word about Nozomi (make Nozomi feel "Down"). Thanks to bad picture for silly monkey because all Suginoki Elementary School students wan't visit Nursing Home for entertaining Senior Citizens with "Monkey & Crab" Japanese Folk Tales (Thanks to Miiko's letter for asking Nozomi's help for drawing a Silly Monkey got "Lesson" from Chestnut, Children of Crabs, a Wasp & Mortar. Nozomi's motivation are recovered with aid of her friends in Children Hospital). The ending? Nozomi discharged from Hospital & she's recovered from Leukimia despite she's go to hospital for check up a cancer's condition (Nozomi's Dream & Hope based from Eriko-Sensei's fans requesting Miiko-Chan befriending an illness child like her)

I am crying my eyes out. I’m just shattered…. Hearing the parents cry was so hard that I burst into tears. The poor baby said her head hurt and went to sleep and never woke up, truly heartbreaking 💔. What a strong mother and father, I pray my children never pass before me. The doctors and nurses are wonderful there, I am so thankful that they are helping so many families in the most difficult time in their lives. Without their help, I bet it would be just that much harder, not saying it’s any less painful but hopefully makes it easier for the family by letting them have more precious time with their child instead of worrying about everything worse that comes with a sick child. God bless them all and RIP to all the precious Angels 👼 ❤️❤️

I feel so sad- her parents desperately wanted her to meet her unborn brother. She passed just 14 days too soon. It’s devastating. She was the most adorable, sweet, precocious, happy little girl, with incredibly loving parents. I am so glad they could go to this place, all together as a family, to spend this wonderful time with their daughter. I think that helped the entire family so much. Everything turned so suddenly, within just one day. The doctor was so kind, and he looked deeply saddened when they left. I cannot imagine coming to a hospital with my full-of-life little girl, and leaving by carrying her body out. I don’t know if I could do what her father did. Such pain cannot be measured. They are both so strong, and I am so sorry for their heartbreak.

there are so many bad people in this world yet a sweet little girl like that is taken, it's not fair. My heart went out to the parents of that little girl, I wanted to reach through the screen and hug the mother when she broke down it was so sad. She shouldered a heavy burdened on such small shoulders, she was so strong, admiration to her. The staff at the hospice were so compassionate, there are a few people who could take a leaf out of their books and treat people with a little more kindness at a time where their burdens are so heavy.

I never understood why my mom cried for hours by my bedside when I was diagnosed with carcinoma, there were days when I could barely walk and days when I was feeling totally fine, I was old enough to analyze how serious the situation actually was. Sometimes just waking up made me happy, but I had the feeling I was gonna make it through, and I kept telling my mom not to worry, but there wasn't one day that I wouldn't hear her cry when I was half asleep. I never saw the whole situation from my mom's perspective because I thought I was the one who was who was suffering. This video said otherwise, having seen the pain that these parents went through, I can't even begin to imagine what my mom felt when she saw me using all the strength i had, to reach out for my glass of water, seeing the massive tufts of hair I left on my pillowcases, and seeing me losing weight drastically. I still remember the look on her face when she got to know I was cancer free. Even though I've been healthy for almost an year now, she still strokes my hair sometimes with tears in her eyes and I always joke about her being emotional, but she's not, this video taught me so much.. Thank you for this, r.i.p icchan 💕
