    I havn't blogged for a few days for the simple reason, I havn't seen mum that much really.

    This demon that is my depression seems to have taken hold for the past week, so up and down.

    Well what a day!!!!

    Today mum has had blood tests, x-rays, ecg's and ultrasounds.
    Blood tests have come back that her blood count is low at the moment and put the number 60 (whatever that's meant to mean) on it. Apparntly if it drops as low as 10 or if she starts showing signs of any infection they will do a blood transfusion.
