Niamh has been very happy, very cheeky and very excited all day today. She is Miss Independent at the moment. She still can't talk but she can clearly communicate that SHE can do it, whatever it is, all by herself.
She had a good physio session this morning with Claire. She did some good cruising along the sofa and various other exercises. When Claire stretched her legs, Niamh did not get upset like last week. She now wears the right splint only and that seems to work fine for her. The left leg doesn't need the extra support.
Despite all this happiness and energy, Niamh had a mild temperature all afternoon. Luckily it remained under 38 so we did not have to go to the hospital. I have just checked her temperature now and it seems back to under 37. Phew.... Really didn't fancy being back at the hospital just yet. Niamh is likely to be neutropenic (no immune system) over the next couple of days. We have to check her temperature regularly as she is prone to infections. If she reaches 38, we have to take her into hospital for antibiotics (ie. a few nights).
