We've had another lovely weekend. Niamh is looking a bit burnt from the radiotherapy but she is still in good spirits and trying to be as active and involved as she can. Today she took her second first steps, she has learnt to walk for the second time! Once when she was about 1 year old and again now at 2 3/4. She walked 7 or 8 steps between mum and dad without anyone holding her which was very impressive. Hopefully in the coming weeks she will continue to get stronger and gain some of her independence back. Radiotherapy symptoms permitting.
She only has two more days of radiation to the whole brain and spine which is a relief. After that she has 12 days of boost to the original site of her tumour.
Niamh has been sleeping a bit better but has been sick a couple of times this weekend. Tube passing went without a hitch which is fortunate as Niamh's platelets are probably very low. She'll have a blood test tomorrow and she may need a platelet transfusion. We'll wait and see.
