Driving Miss Daisy

Today is the 1st day back to Addenbrookes. This is going to be a twice weekly visit for the next month. Tuesday's are review day & Friday's are for procedures like the bone marrow or lumber puncture.

Today's review has looked good so far, her blood count from the previous test has shown up exactly as the doctors thought it would, her weight has gone up (obviously) & the signs are good. Her temperature was up a bit earlier but it has calmed down. If it stayed up, the doctors would have kept Caitlin in, & we'd be back to square one.

The hardest part was that Caitlin has had another cannula put in to have a blood sample taken & to be given antibiotics. Caitlin did get quite upset but the nurses are amazing in calming her down & letting them do their job. We're still waiting for her antibiotics to be given at the current moment, but in the meantime, her 2nd favourite cook has made her lasagna & sausages. (see the picture!!)

I'll update later. XxX
