Not much to report. Niamh is still doing well. She has been sitting with us at the table at mealtimes. Last night she even took a spoon and put some mashed potatoes in her mouth. She did well with the first mouthful, the second one didn't go so well. A lot of coughing. The speech and language therapist has told us to play with food with Niamh to get her used to it again. She is definitely able to swallow but she seems to have forgotten when to. Also she is not able to move her tongue much.
We took her for a little walk in the snow which was lovely.
Emilie is still quite feverish, possibly the flu. We are concerned for Niamh but so far she is ok. Niamh has had the flu vaccine.
The bedtime chemotherapy drugs are getting a little less stressful.
The photos of the girls are absolutely gorgeous, brought tears to my eyes, seeing Niamh looking so well and Emilie being a great big sister.
ReplyDeleteHope you all have a very Merry Christmas.
Best wishes for 2011.
Love Hayley
