Niamh has had a good day on the whole.
She had a good night sleep but woke up at 5.30am ready to start the day. By 7.30am she decided that actually she wanted to go back to sleep for a couple of hours. She was fine in the morning but seemed to suffer a bit at times. Once she had some paracetamol she was great. Not quite sure whether the pain is in her tummy (cramps) or in her head. She had a nice three hour afternoon nap and woke up very happy. Nice evening.
The doctors were a little concerned this morning about the vomiting over the past few days. They asked for full blood counts. Everything came back fine. The surgeons don't think the vomiting is due to the surgery, the oncologist doesn't think the vomiting is due to the chemotherapy. Hmmmm.... They did agree though that it may be due to the difference in the pressure in her head due to the drainage of the fluid. They would expect it to settle now. So fingers crossed, no more vomiting.
The plan at the moment is for a discharge tomorrow morning. Emilie prayed this evening that her sister and mummy will be coming to pick her up from school tomorrow afternoon.
I am delighted to hear that Niamh is recovering so well from the shunt and that the MRI scan came back positive last week.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I read your blog, Niamh seems to amaze me even more, she is doing so fantastic!
I hope to see you all before I go away on my travels, in the mean time though, love and best wishes.
