Home or chemo, that is the question??



First Blood Transfusion



Ellies first day of school



Harrys temperature finally came down on Wednesday afternoon, but his blood cultures came back with an infection in his line. So Harry is now on antibiotics, which he apparently has to have for a couple of weeks. Although I am hoping that someone comes out to the house as I don't want to sit here for 2 weeks.

If however his blood results are coming up then we might even start chemo. The other option is that if there really is an infection in his line then they might remove it and do the chemo through a 'pic' line as he only has 2 more.

Harry ended up having his first chemo related blood transfusion (he had one during surgery) on Wednesday as his haemoglobin was low, and now his levels are all good.

I have slept in the Ronald McDonald room for the last two nights as Harry hasn't been on hyper hydration so hasn't had to wee every hour, which has been great as I have managed to get some sleep. The first time I have slept there in 8 months.

Update
Bloods are back and Harry is good to go with chemo, which means he will be in here till Monday. They are looking at moving him out of the isolation room, even though he isn't in isolation officially, which he was excited about until he realised that all the kids in room 7 are going home and he could still end up being on his own.

They have all been in school this morning. Harry wasn't going, but Ruby (who is the same age as Ellie) came to the door this morning and asked if he was coming to school. So bless him off he went. Harry, Declan, Ruby, and Lochie, don't think I have ever seen school that full.

Just packing up so we can move room, and so excited as the end is again in sight!!
