Niamh had one of her best days since starting chemo. She has been smiling ever since she woke up, playful, playing music with her little piano and even dancing and getting her dolls to dance. Amazing.
The leaning on the right and weakness in right arm and leg are still present but seem to have improved throughout the day.
Dr Peet, the oncologist consultant came this morning. He was happy to see that she was better than last week. He has decided not to give her the vincristine she was due today. He says it will not affect her treatment and can be given later on. He is not too concerned about her needing a shunt but would prefer to wait till her blood counts are up. She is still neutropenic today. Her happiness and playfulness today are a good sign. Hopefully her white cells will have recovered a bit tomorrow.
At this stage it is looking unlikely that she will have the surgery tomorrow. It all depends on her over the next 24hrs. Unfortunately it is still a possibility for later in the week.
