A slightly nicer day today. Niamh was better after the oramorph this morning. She didn't want to do much but was happy enough. She sat up for a bit which was nice.
She had a long sleep this afternoon and woke up ok. She doesn't seem to be in any pain at the moment.
Her temperature was fine all day but went up to 38 around 6pm (well one thermometer said 36.9, one said 37.3 and one said 38.3, hmm). The doctors decided to go for 38.3 and give her some calpol.
She was due to have a blood transfusion this evening but it has been delayed due to her temperature. She will hopefully have it later tonight or tomorrow. Her haemoglobin level today was down to 7.9. She is still neutropenic (less than 0.1 white cells and no neutrophils). We are a bit concerned about the temperature this evening as she is on two strong antibiotics but doctor doesn't seem worried.
No vomit today (apart from the small one at 8am mentioned earlier). No Ng tube drama for now 24hrs (relief!).
No loose nappies this afternoon/evening. Could things be getting better?
The dietician has changed her feeds to Peptamen junior which is meant to be easier to digest.
Niamh weighed 14.2kg yesterday, she has lost a bit more than a kilogram on this cycle so far. She actually weighed 14kg when she was first diagnosed.
