Right, not home yet. Niamh is doing great, but the doctors want to wait for the results of the urine test before discharging us. As it is a bank holiday weekend the test is taking longer than planned.
If the test shows no infection they will most likely stop her IV antibiotics. If the test shows an infection, then they will prescribe a different antibiotic that can be administered through her ng tube. Either way we should be taking Niamh home tomorrow.
She is still neutropenic (no neutrophils, ie. No immune system) but this is likely to change over the next few days. She is still getting the gcsf injection every day.
Fluid on her head has gone down a bit better. Hopefully a good sign.
Dreaded cycle 3 is still planned for later this week.
