Niamh woke up in a very happy smiley mood this morning, everyone our bay kept saying what a lovely smile she has. She also woke up tubeless after a little vomit in the night. So first job of the day was to place a new NG tube, Helene and I are assessed to do this now, but the nurses wanted to do it today. It went relatively smoothly, but it took 20 minutes or so for Niamh's smile to return.
First we did some little car around the ward and then some walking, from our bay to the play room. I have to support Niamh a lot but she is definitely getting stronger with her walking. Niamh's nurse was very nice and helped us with pushing the drip stand.
Niamh had visitors this morning and this afternoon and she loved to spend time with them. She was quite cheeky all day and admitted it. Normally she says daddy is cheeky, but today she was happy to take responsibility.
We had a big vomit at lunch time in the middle of her sleep, but really it is to be expected. We've lowered the rate her feed goes in to just 15 ml an hour, 3 teaspoons. Hopefully that will help.
In the evening we had a nice time all together with Emilie and Hélène.
Hopefully home tomorrow evening when her hydration ends (she's on a lot of intravenous fluid during the cyclophosphamide to protect her bladder). It will depend on Niamh's blood counts.
Niamh's counts today were:
Haemoglobin - 9.1.
White Cells - 1.4.
Platelets - 79.
Neutrophils - 1.1.
