Niamh passed her hearing test this morning so her hearing has not been affected by the cisplatin so far. Phew.
She had her second dose of vincristine, no more chemo now till next Tuesday.
Niamh is feeling much better, still quite rashy and itchy (pruriton helps) and still a bit bothered with her tummy every now and then but on the whole much better. Unfortunately we are still in isolation, ie stuck in a small dull room with a tiny window at the top, no tv, nothing really ... Quite hard to keep her entertained all day. She wants to go out in the corridors and see people, especially as she is off all the drips now.
So instead she holds on to the nurses when they come around. Even the neurosurgeon could not get his fingers back:). Little charmer our Niamh.
No blood tests done today as her central lines seem to have become blocked. They can pass fluids but can't get any blood. They are trying to unblock them with a special product that sits in the lines for a few hours. They will try again tomorrow at 6am. Really hope that works.
We were meant to be discharged this evening but as she has a kidney test tomorrow morning and due to the snow forecast decided it was probably easier to spend the night here. Hopefully sleeping in her own bed tomorrow night!
