Good news today, she is no longer neutropenic. In fact her white blood cells have gone from 0.7 yesterday to 6.4 today, she has 2.2 neutrophils. They have checked her CD34 for the harvest cell transplant and it is more than 500 which the nurse said is phenonemal. They only need 50 to carry the transplant so she reckons it should work well tomorrow.
We are hoping to do the harvest cell transplant tomorrow morning (it takes about 4 hours) unless the surgeon decides he wants to operate on her in the morning (shunt). The neuro team hasn't been yet and she hasn't had a scan either, she is not drowsy at all so hopefully the shunt can wait.
Niamh has been well and happy all day. This morning she had very little balance and could hardly sit up which she found frustrating. She was leaning on the right too much. By the evening she was sitting straight using her right arm and hand almost normally.
