Day +82 and +83
Hi All, so sorry I haven’t updated my blog in a couple of days but I was so so sick and had an horrible time. My anti-sickness drugs have been changed around a bit so that is making me throw up all the time so between that and going to the loo all the time I’ve been very busy. On top of that I got terrible pains in my belly so the X ray lady came and took an x-ray of my chest cos the doc thought I might have pneumonia but that is was clear so it turns out I have somehow pulled a muscle mostly likely from getting sick all the time :-(. Also I’ve had to have oxegen for the last two nights so that doesn’t help me sleep either. After all that business I finally agreed to have some morphine, a little bit and first and now a big bit, it has worked and now I’m comfortable and chilled out again. I also was getting terrible spasms in my legs and back which is a side effect from one of my drugs called Ambersol and I’m not getting them so much anymore now either. I haven’t really being up to doing anything lately, Amanda has come in for chats and we’re in the middle of make a pencil case. Susan is coming today and Paula is back today too. I am off my drug that I can’t eat or drink on Yay!, although I haven’t felt like eating much yet. I think I might be sleeping a lot more now on morphine as I get it every four hours which is a good thing although I really want to stay awake for the play nurse to come. My blood counts are not bad today, I don’t need a blood transfusion but I do need platelets. Last night I hardly need to go to the loo at all BUT was up all night throwing up…. When will all this stop!! Soon I hope. Will update you later on on how today goes. Love Naoise xxx

Day +83
Well I woke up not feeling too bad this morning, had some Morphine and fell back asleep. Susan came at 11.00 but I was asleep. She came again when I woke up and we coloured in our porcelain plates, after that I listening to Westlife and chatted to Bettany who has been looking after me this week. Then Mary the Doctor came just as I was getting sick, she said that we couldn’t have that so she called in another doctor who is a specialists with sickness. She came into see me for a long time this afternoon and she was really nice. She is trying to figure out how we can get rid of my spasm pains too. So we have a new plan of action now. My tummy is full of bile which I keep throwing up so she said I should take this medicine which pushes all the bile out while I’m on the loo. My belly is pressing on my lungs which is why I need to have oxegen. If this doesn’t work I will have to have a tube put in my nose again and my belly drained….so not looking forward to that!! Now for the good news is, my rash is still gone, my swelling is not so bad, my blood counts today are platelets 37 (need another transfusion), White count 1.6 and neutraphils are 1.03 so they are going up a bit! I didn’t need a blood transfusion today and I haven’t been to the loo as much as I have been going. Paula came in for the big chat with the doctor and when the doc went Paula and I made a card for Cath. Cath is one of the nurses who looked after me a lot in the beginning, she is so nice but she is leaving today :-(. Paula and I made her a necklace and a card. We tricked her into coming into my room by saying we needed a drugs checked. We gave her her pressies and she started crying which started mummy off so I was stuck in a room with to cry babies :-)!! Best of Luck Cath and those neo natal babies are so lucky to have you looking after them now.!! Best be off now cos I missed the 6 o clock friends so gonna catch the 8 o clock ones..xxxx P.S Mummy took a picture of me asleep today its not a great look for me xxxxx
