Morning, Emily is still sleeping, so thought I would do a quick update.
Emily has had her chemo, and now waiting on her blood count to drop again. Yesterday her hemaglobin was low so she had a blood transfusion. Emily is on morphine again, as the mucusitis is back. But think the morphine helping, and she has been able to breasfeed occasionally. She bit me yesterday oowww! little madam.
Emily's heartrate has been pretty high the past few days, they are keeping a close eye on her, as one of the drugs they use can affect the funtion of her heart - scary.
I have birthday pics!

this is before she pulled out her nasal tube.........

and after, beautiful in her birthday dress! awesome photos thanks to my dad, thanks dad xx
We took Emi in to hosp later that day to get the tube put down again.

Many, many thanks to everyone who supported us with the recent garage sale, it was amazing! thankyou so much everyone!

Emily 1 already

I know it has been a while since my last post, have been a bit hectic and I had problems with my computer and had to get it fixed - damn viruses...
To my delight, Emily and I were allowed to spend a few days out of hospital for her birthday, as her counts were nearly recovered, getting ready for next round of chemo. We had a nice time over the weekend, Dad came up, and so did my parents, Brendan's parents and a couple of friends and their children came up for the day on Emily's birthday. We spent the day in the park.
We are back in  hospital now to stay, Emily started chemo on tuesday. I think she is teething again too. Emily still is not eating a thing. wish she would try.
She is being watched closely at the moment as there are a few things happening - she has a rash ( probably a reaction to the chemo drug cytarabine, her heartrate has been fast and temp up a bit sometimes, and her bio chemistry has been out - whatever that means.
