Niamh has been stable ish all day. The neurosurgeons have been twice to check on her. The scar on her head still looks neat apart from a crusty bit on the left side. We were concerned about the fluid under her scar which we thought may have increased. They reassured us that it is fine as it is soft. They will come back regularly to check on it.
Her urine was tested and is clear. The dressing on her central line was changed and it seems very clean and not red at all. Really hoping her central line is not infected.
She is still having a lot of loose nappies so infection may be in her tummy.
Her stats this evening are better so hopefully the antibiotics are working.
Blood counts similar to yesterday's: no neutrophils and hardly no white cells.
Emilie is disappointed her sister couldn't come home. Luckily she went to a birthday party this afternoon (thanks to auntie Caitlin) and had such a good time that she is now v happy. She will go to the hospital tomorrow' to make her sister laugh' and also to meet Paula from the Play centre. Paula will try and spend some time with Emilie over the next few months to help her deal with everything that's going on.
