Caitlin was due to come home for the weekend & then go back to Addenbrookes to have another Hickman Line refitted, keeping her in for a little while after to make sure everything is ok.
That changed again last night with the results of her cultures of the Hickman Line that was removed. They found nothing wrong which causes another problem: what was causing her temperature? This is then when they told us that Caitlin would be going back to Ipswich...
Hospital.
They want her to have a course of antibiotics & hopefully chemo as well with maybe a possibility of home either Sunday or Tuesday.
At this point it's speculation as to when Caitlin is home, as we've found out, there's not much point in planning anything.
UPDATE!
We've just seen the doctors. The "plan" is that Caitlin will be heading to Ipswich hospital as soon as they have a bed available. She'll be there till Sunday afternoon as she's having antibiotics, then back to Addenbrookes on Monday as an outpatient for reviews. Basically to get back on track with the chemo, we'll have the community nurses come round to administer chemo the following days. We've got a date of April 4th for her new Hickman Line & that's as positive & up-to-date as we can get.
