With the finish line in sight it has been a shame that last Friday Francesca spiked a high temperature and was, for the first time in a while, admitted to Lewisham Hospital. We have been there since and at present aren't entirely sure what is causing her temperatures. It could be a virus or, most likely another line infection.
We know from GOS that if she were to get another line infection they would remove it prematurely which is a real shame. The most important thing though is that we get as much chemo into Fran over these final few weeks rather than stop the chemo due to illness. We understand the risk ratio but it still doesn't make us feel great.
Over the last couple of weeks she has had quite a lot of bruising which has concerned us a little - both Lewisham and GOS have tried taking peripheral bloods to see if her blood clotting is slightly off but we have so far been unsuccessful. Hopefully we will repeat this before we leave Lewisham this week.
In our minds we are hoping to be discharged mid week - we are certainly not planning on being in-patients for Charlie's third birthday on the 3rd of April!
