Greetings from Newcastle General Hospital... today was very hard, I was very sick this morning and am feeling very very tired. I sleep lots but when I wake up I still feel tired and sick... :-( I did have two really cool nurses looking after me today and they cheered me up. Also Amanda the play nurse came in and we painted some pictures for the window. Nana went to Marks & Spencers for cheesey coleslaw, it was really nice. The doc came around and told mummy my platelet count was still low and that I would have another tranfusion. Its bright yellow and he calls it mango juice :-). He said that my magnesium levels are very low too so I got a tranfusion of that too. I still have a bit of an infection in my tummy that they are keeping a close eye on. Between that and five anti-sickness drugs, steriods, antibiotics, anti-rejection drugs and so much other stuff that I have no clue of my day is pretty much taken up with the nurses giving me all my medication!! Somewhere between day +12 and + 16 my white blood cells which are called Neutrophils should start to go up and that will be a sign that my body is accepting the bone marrow so fingers crossed!! The days and nights are very busy here and believe it or not they go really quickly. The TV broke today so we watched Meet The Parents and Mama Mia. I think I will sleep really well tonight cos I am so tired. Tomorrow is Monday, not sure if I'll be well enough to see the teacher.... will let you know. Can anyone guess who the famous visitor is on Friday..... love Naoise xxx

Hi Naoise
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are not feeling the best but hopefully that will start to improve very soon. Cant wait to see photos of the cool bandanas! I bet you have a pink one??? Gosh I know what the cravings are like and custard is definitely one of mine - gorgeous! When I was watching Ant & Dec the other night I was thinking about you and was wondering if that is who your special visitors are...... Was your Mum singing & dancing along to Mama Mia - hope she didnt embarrass you!
Talk soon, Love Eileen
Hi Naoise,
ReplyDeleteYou have me wanting cheesy coleslaw now, yum! Your day sounds very busy. I'm glad you have nice nurses who cheer you up.
Sadhbh makes me go rollerblading with her, she says I have to wear Phil's bicycle helmet. She won't skate beside me because she says I wave my arms around too much. I think I'm getting really good though I still have to run into a wall to stop.
Sadhbh and Oisin went back to school today, Caitlin was looking for them.
I hope you have an easier day tomorrow. Lots of love, Paula xx
