Sorry to say...

... she is still there!

A lengthy review with nurses and doctors this morning.

1. Cycle 5 definitely on hold till next week
2. Methotrexate levels still to high in her system
3.  She is now nutropenic AGAIN - due to the chemo so is very susceptible to infection, currently OK but they are watching her like a hawk.  We really don't want a repeat run to intensive care.....

So she can'tcome home just yet - just maybe the weekend...

Ella started this current cycle on January 24.  Out of the past 36 nights Ella has spent 23 of these in hospital - something is not right!

We have asked to meet with her consultant next week.

  1. Thinking of you all a lot. Really looking forwards to being around again soon xxx
    PS Had a lecture on chemotherapy today followed directly by one on eating disorders!

  2. So sorry to hear Ella isn't home yet. But I hope all goes well with her meeting with the consultant. And that she gets some time at home before the next cycle. Sleep well xxx Georgina
