Leaps and bounds

Caitlin's transplant has been full of ups and downs, we are now on
the other side of a down. Who would have thought a tube up your nose
could cause so much trouble. 3 tubes later and all is well.
Her morphine pump has been taken away, she no longer needs it.
Her white cell count is coming up nicely, but the best news of all came
today, she now has neutrophils! this means she is getting an immune system.
It also means it shouldn't be too long before we can leave the hospital and go
to Ronald McDonald House. Tomorrow she starts taking her anti rejections
orally, that's a step closer to leaving also.
                                          

Another wasgij has been completed.


Auntie Caitlin got to spend a bit of time with Fleur, that put a huge smile on her face.

  6. Oh, her eyes, her eyes
    Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
    Her hair, her hair
    Falls perfectly without her trying
    She's so beautiful
    And I tell her everyday.


    When I see your face
    There's not a thing that I would change
    'Cause you're amazing
    Just the way you are
    And when you smile
    The whole world stops and stares for a while
    'Cause, girl, you're amazing
    Just the way you are .
