Things possibly looking up

Less than one minute read time.

Well, nothing has changed much in herself... still can't take food and still has bad runs (antibiotics) but the good news is that her neutraphils and white counts are up slightly... well they couldn't go down! So this is the first sign that things are starting to pickup.

They tried to get some blood from her this afternoon but it was so painful and unsuccessful. So they are taking it tomorrow somehow. A Hickman or Portacath is absolutely essential as soon a they can fit it IMO. Sal agrees!!! Funny that!

She is resting this afternoon. I might go back this evening but that is up to hr although I am of the opinion she would be better off resting but I am not the patient :-)

Let's hope that the bloods tomorrow confirm the recovery.

    Pity she can't have food yet. She must be getting weak. Really bad luck. Let's hope she has the worst behind her now. Thinking of you both. Lal x

    Hi lal, She is quite weak from the lack of food and  constant dashing to the loo. But the thing that is making her feel so weak is a a constant bad migraine. It saps her energy and ability to fight. She gets bad migraines everday anyway but her migraine meds generally allows her to cope but with her not keeping food down she can't take them. Also, one of the biggest triggers for her migraines is NOT EATING!!! It is a bit of a catch-22 really.

    Once she can start to eat again she can then properly medicate her migraines and things should improve considerably IMO.
