Hi
Immie and I had alot better sleep last night, she only woke a few times for toilet time, and then because she wanted a drink. She then ended up with a stomach ache and had a bolus of morphine at 4am. We both managed to go back to sleep quickly, and woke up at the very late (LOL) 7.30am. Immie had a few chucks, then was given more anti nausea meds, and managed to calm her tummy down.
She slept on and off all morning and awoke around lunch to watch some tele, do mouth care (fun fun) and cooperate with Dr Nick’s check up. Dr Nick said her that she looks a little better today, though she still trying to struggle to keep the temps in control roaring to 39.7 at 3am the morning. More changing antibiotics, and if she gets more temps tonight they will bring in the big antibiotics (they cover every base, but only want to be used when everything else is tried).
Jason’s mum and dad (nana and pop) came to visit the afternoon, along with Jas and Kody, this made her perk up a little, though she still mainly just sleep. We also had my gorgeous Aunt and Uncle arrive to deliver us lollies and Immie a special Guardian angel charm. The more sleep the better this weekend we were told as it will help heal her quicker, so minimal visitors.
She received platelets yesterday as she only had 14 left, she has no neutrophils (immune system), still has good red blood cell numbers.
I never mention on stem cell day either but added with the stem cells Imogen received was a preservative that protects the stem cell when thawed out. This preservative makes the kids smell like smoked oysters, as it discrete out of them. I am happy to lay my tough beautiful girl no longer smells like a smoked oyster (ha-ha). I am going home tonight with Kods and my fabulous sister Livi and Jas is staying.
Please send some prayers that the little stem cells start working like mad, and she has a good night sleep,
Love to all
