Caitlin had a nose bleed earlier for 45 minutes. The kind that started this journey for us all, & the place it led us to that day, Ipswich Hospital.
The blood test was swift, a prick to the finger & draw some out into a vial. After 10 minutes the results came back & revealed that her platelets were absolutely fine, but her haemoglobin was the lowest it could be, meaning Caitlin was Neutropenic. Risk of infection is at its highest & with that they've decided to give her platelets & a blood transfusion.
We're currently halfway through (3 hours for the transfusion), we've watched Anastasia & we're now watching Happy Feet! Caitlin is pretty tired & generally worn out. It's understandable but she's being a trooper. All she wants to do is go home.
