We're back at week 10, and back on track chemo wise. Caitlin's temperature is stable, she's taking her chemo and medicines well, and her feeds are going well. Due to the nature of the Mercaptopurine and the fact Caitlin has to be nil-by-mouth either side of it, we're giving her feeds really late, and the little sleep we're getting is catching up with us fast!!
Caitlin has had a few visitors this week. Earlier in the week Grandma Sheila and Nanny Jane came to see her and she had a fantastic day, playing with stickers, chatting and looking at old pictures! Tonight she had her punching partner Jacko and his brother Anthony come round and they caused absolute havoc before leaving (pretty much the norm when my friends are involved!), but again, it's lovely to hear her laugh and she's done plenty of that with her sister Jess.
On Wednesday, Caitlin has her 2nd Hickman Line, this time on her left side, which is a slightly harder op as the line has further to travel and isn't a straight line. It travels in an s-bend and probably means a longer op.
I'll update again, with the flow chart so I can keep that updated at the same time.
