Last week Francesca had her monthly dose of vincristine which, on the whole she seemed to cope well with. She was at school the following day and seemed fine - as she was due her MRI this week it was decided that she wouldn't have her steroids and I am sure that is what made all the difference! It was just as well she was OK as Charlie had a horrible temperature all week and was really poorly. As you can imagine, we wondered if Francesca would in fact catch the cold/virus?!!...............
She did! Over the weekend her temperature was a little higher than usual and then on Monday she began to spike and off we trotted (for the first time in a long time) to Lewisham Hospital to begin IV antibiotics. They have been taking cultures to see if she has a line infection and she had a chest x-ray which showed a few bits and bobs which could be current or possibly from her last chest infection. Currently she is on 4 different antibiotics and just today is receiving a blood transfusion - we can't almost remember the last time she had one of those either!
Fran in herself is on fine form - tired but happy. We are hoping that she will be home tomorrow if she doesn't have any more temperatures and I am looking forward to going to the hospital later today and finding a very rosy looking Fran post transfusion!
We will keep you updated.
