Helen just a quickie to let you all know I am thinking of you all. Hope you managed to get a little rest, and when Caz rises she is so much better.
Whoops need to run lo! ((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))))
Love Maryxxxxx
So far, no call for help.....must mean Caz managed to get some sleep, and I was astonished, we slept too.....
my love and hugs to you all

I guess I spoke too soon, am now at Caz's, she felt a bit of panic when she woke, so I caught the train and bus up to stay with her for as long as she needs me......no choir prac again, ah well, I'll catch up somehow! Oddly enough, she is better now today than she was when she first woke. Think the Piriton is working overtime, she spoke to the doc today, he is happy if she can continue on the Piriton, they could start her on steroid tablets, but that masks any infection while her blood levels are as low as they are right now.
I just hope tomorrow's bloods show she is picking up, white cells being as low as this is worrying. She doesn't feel so headachey or dizzy when getting up as she did even yesterday, so maybe thing are just beginning to show an improvement.
my love and hugs to you all

Hi Helen - I'm sure she's feeling much better having you there with her. Who could have predicted that she'd have such a reaction!
What is the Piriton - and is she still on anti-histamines?
I'm so sorry it's been so tough on her. Good thing you managed to get some sleep last night.
Sending love & hugs,
Mo
Hi, Mo, Piriton is the strongest antihistamine that you can get, it isn't on prescription but you can get it on presription, and since now cancer patients in the UK get prescriptions free now, she could have got that free too, we will ask for it to be prescribed tomorrow when she goes for next blood tests, also Corsodyl mouthwash as her mouth is quite affected too.
She's settled well all wrapped up still in p/js on the sofa in front of the TV, I made her an omelette, and I also got some creme eggs from the shop! Bet she'll enjoy one in a bit.....she was glad to see me, bless her!
Much love and big hugs
Moomy
Dear Helen,
I am so pleased that you are with Caz, I bet she feels better already having mum with her, when our kids are out of sorts, no matter how old they are, they need their mums. I have a feeling you too will feel so much better being there with her.
Hope Hubby is ok love, the worry for him too must be immense, although I know he too will feel better knowing you are there to keep an eye on your dear girl, until she is feeling better.
In the meantime sending you all the warmest of
Good luck for tomorrow Caz, keeping everything crossed that all goes well, I would cross my eyes love, only I would fall over lo! hehehe,
My love to you all
Maryxxxxx
haha, trouble is, only one of us has had an egg so far......bet you can guess who!
she is flat out, having felt very itchy a while ago, used the new aqueous cream on her itchy face and legs....then said she'd have a nap, but then said she couldn't sleep......yes, flat out!
Poor lass, I am being itchy in sympathy! Isn't it funny how we are so close to our children, we get the same symptoms?!
love and hugs to you all
Moomy
Dear Helen
Fingers crossed here for Caz as well, hope she's feels better very very soon..... am so glad to read you're up there with her.... you and Mary are so right, when we're ill, all we want are our mums, (although to his credit, my dad is a pretty good substitute!)
Much love to you and yours
Leah
