Tricks and Treats!



Firstly, I know! The blog update has been a long while coming - sorry to all!

Francesca had to go into Lewisham hospital a couple of weeks ago as she'd spiked a temperature and had no immune system. They started her on three different IV antibiotics which seemed to do the trick. The problem for us was that we had organised a halloween party for her and her friends on the Wednesday and she was still an in patient. After some discussion and to my relief Lewisham agreed that she could go home for the party with her friends. She was discharged the following day anyway.

Fran's party was a winner - she had an absolutely fantastic time. All her friends came dressed up and played all the games including marshmellow in flour, hand in jelly etc. You can see from some of the pictures that they all had a ball.

Last week we were at Great Ormond Street where Francesca had a lumbar, she is still neutropenic so hasn't had any oral chemo for a few weeks but they felt she'd be fine for the lumbar. That all went well and the good news is that we won't be going back until January 15th!

Francesca has only six weeks left in nursery and then after Christmas begins Reception. It's all working out well with her treatment as she won't miss too much school.

Charlie has been poorly for the last week and then yesterday had a febrile convulsion caused by a high temperature. The doctor seems to think that it is just a virus so he should improve as the week goes on.

The pictures here are of Francesca and Charlie at the beach a couple of weekends ago and of Fran's party.
