Only 2 weeks and four days left of treatment.
This week has actually gone a lot better than I had anticipated. She has been looking better, her eyes are possibly looking a little less red than last week. Her head and neck are however getting redder each day.
I thought we would be in hospital all day yesterday for transfusions but we ended up having a lovely day at home with Emilie. She enjoyed her many visitors, especially showing them her standing and dancing.
Her blood counts yesterday were:
HB: 10.2 (they transfuse below 10).
WCC: 2.8 (improvement).
Platelets: 54 (they transfuse under 50).
Neutrophils: 2.1 (improvement).
We were very pleased that she is not neutropenic and that her counts have plateaued a little. We were hoping that they would give her a platelet transfusion as her platelets are low but the Consultant prefers to wait till Monday.
So Niamh is doing well so far, she struggles a little with her concentration but I guess it can be expected with the treatment.
Niamh's sickness has been a little better this week compared to last weekend. She was sick once on Thursday afternoon and once last night at 3am. We are hoping she won't be too sick over the weekend as passing Ng tubes with low platelets is stressful.
