Fran's test over the last week haven't given us a clear reason why she has been so poorly. She continued to spike temperatures until Thursday morning and they have, fortunately, now gone. Last Sunday the hospital introduced a couple more iv antibiotics and then on Wednesday one was changed to an anti-fungal iv. Whilst she's not had any more temperature spikes we were today told that she has grown a bug in her most recent blood culture - this usually means that she has a line infection. It could be that she has had a virus over the last week and that this culture is simply contaminated or it could be that she has developed a line infection over the last week in hospital. We just aren't sure at this point. Obviously, we hope it isn't a line infection as it will mean a premature removal of the line, it will also mean more time at the hospital which we are now fed up of!
Fran is in good spirits though - a bit tired but all in all good. Stuart and I are tired and I am desperate to have the four of us under one roof soon! With Charlie's third birthday at the weekend we are working hard to make sure we are all home.
Will keep you all posted. x
