After hope of being discharged at lunchtime, we finally made it home at 8.30pm. Long day...
Nothing was found in the blood and urine cultures so no more antibiotics. The doctor was happy to send us home at lunchtime but asked if we could check her urine before we went. As Niamh looked tired it seems sensible to stay on for her to sleep and wait for a wee. We got a sample which tested fine which is great.
The nurses were then getting ready to give her the gcsf injection when Niamh vomited and her ng tube came out. Noooooo!
The oncology consultant, Dr Peet came at the end of the day to say that he was still happy for us to take Niamh home but to take her back if she continues being sick or 'sicking' as Emilie would say! He also said that her white blood cells were slightly up 0.2, not much but it's a start.
Dr Peet also said that Niamh will most likely start cycle 3 next week.
Niamh has been quite tired today, and bored. By the time she got home this evening, she was dancing with Emilie on Emilie's bed. They were extremely happy to be reunited.
