Today has been an okay day really. Protein and a little bit of blood were found in Niamh's urine last night which possibly indicates a urine infection. A sample has now been sent for culture.
Niamh's had a good day in hospital, her temperature has remained under 37, heart rate and blood pressure are good. In the night and this morning, she seemed to complain everytime she had a wee but that stopped in the afternoon.
Dr Peet, the oncologist crossed off one of the very strong antibiotics (can affect hearing so best not to use too much of it). If she remains well and the blood cultures don't show anything by tomorrow afternoon, we may be able to take Niamh home in the evening. She may however need a blood and a platelet transfusion tomorrow which may delay us a bit.
