Hi all
Surprise, surprise, we checked into the PMH Hotel on Friday, as the port (the catheter where all the chemo gets give through) site did not look any improved from Wednesday. By the sounds of it, the new antibiotics she was put on were fighting a losing battle against this yukky bug she got.

We checked in and go put in isolation as usually, then we moved to the transplant room as they needed more isolation rooms and the only thing wrong with Immie was this port site looking dodgy. The transplant room has a small room before the door that enters the main room very very isolated, but large too, so the very UN sick Immie had heaps of room to run around in (with Iv pole coming a slow second behind) !!. Immie has spent the last coupla days painting, painting, playdoughing, watching tele, painting, and drawing oh yes and giggling!!.

Yesterday from 12pm Immie (and pretty much all of us too) started fasting as she was scheduled to have her port removed via an operation (yes none of the antibiotics worked, so they have decided to removed it) at 6pm. We had a lovely afternoon with Granma, Granpa and Kods came and saw us, so fasting was a breeze. Half way through the afternoon she went to sleep , and then woke with a headache and proceeded to have a good chuck (nice), and this then pushed her slightly rising temp down. So now she had removed all the food she had all morning as well.

The time rolled around to 6pm, we were told "no your now at 7pm", "no we have had emergencies, now 7.30pm", the around came 8 pm, then at 8.25pm, the nurse came in and told us we had been bumped till tomorrow morning first thing. We tried to get Immie to eat, but of course by then she was too tired and fell asleep. This leads to the morning of no eating because we are second on the list at 9.30am, by the time this is over she will be starving (I friggen would!!).
Anyway I had been get back in there, and see my incredible girl and super husband,

Wishing you beautiful days,

Lots of Love
