Waiting, waiting

Thought it was about time I updated the blog, having been asked a few times
when the next post is happening.
 I was hoping to have good news today, we have bets going as to when Caitlin's counts
 were going to come up. I thought today was going to be the day. Caitlin has a calendar
on her wall and some of the nurses have put their name on the date they think it will happen.
There's a chocolate bar in it for the person who guesses correctly. Caitlin thinks tomorrow.
For the last four days she has had a constant fever and her blood pressure is all over the
show. Then in the middle of the night she does random things and the doctor gets called
to come and review her. 2.30 the other morning she was put on a heart monitor then at
4 am a lady arrived with a portable x-ray machine to give her a chest x-ray.
12.45 this morning we had another visit from a doctor, I think she just likes to keep them
on their toes. She has another infection in both lumens of her Hickman line.
Today was her last day of chemo yaaaay!! Since the last post she has had 3 platelet
transfusions and 2 blood transfusions. Everything seems to be going to plan.
So now its a waiting game!

This has been our project for the last
3 and a half days, even the nurses
would stop to put a few pieces in.
 Caitlin now has a thing for wasgij puzzles.
It has now been pulled apart and the next
one has been started.

                                                                 
   

                                                                   

Jasmine and her family came to visit for the weekend.Caitlin was really happy to spend some time with them. They were showing the nurses how you make loom band bracelets.

Jasmine helped do the finishing touches on the puzzle.

 In the background you can see some

of the bunting her class made, it has really brightened up her room. Everyone comments when they come in.

Here is Amber, Caitlin and Jasmine wearing their very cool matching beanies.
