We made it home on Monday after a very worrying week in hospital. Fran did indeed have Chicken Pox along with a line infection and for a few days was very ill. She was spiking massive temperatures of up to 40.9 and it was a struggle to get them down. Once the virus passed she perked up and the temperatures disappeared however at the time it was a real concern.
Back home we are seeing the community nurses daily for iv antibiotics, these will carry on for at least another week as the infection is still sitting on her central line. I am really hoping that she might be able to get back to school at least for the last week of term but chicken pox and measles are rife here at the moment and we aren't willing to take the risk of exposure at the moment.
Changing the subject somewhat a big THANK YOU to everyone who came along to our Charity Art Auction at the Dolphin in Sydenham. I was unable to be there but I understand that much much fun was had by all that attended and that Hamish Clark the auctioneer was hilarious! The final count hasn't been made but, it looks as though we raised about £2,500 for CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA which is absolutely amazing! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! The money will make a difference. If anyone has any pictures please email them to me.
Here are the photo's - as you can see poor Fran was knocked sideways. The picture above is of Michelle the play specialist with Fran; below are Fran in hospital and Charlie - as you can see where there is food, he is happy!!!
