Week beginning 25th August

Well, what can I say - another eventful week in Sarahs treatment!!! Firstly, we went in to hospital on Monday after a lovely long weekend at home for bank holiday, and although I could get onto the internet on Monday night, by Tuesday, the server had gone down and we couldn't for the rest of the week, hence the delay in updating the blog!! It was like our right arms had been cut off - Sarah couldn't watch BBCiplayer after 9pm when the tellies went off - I couldn't check the dire state of my bank account whilst I was in hospital - only good thing was the Olympics had finished, so I wasn't missing anything!!!
On Tuesday, chemo went up, and all went fine, but then in the afternoon, Sarah started shivering and shaking and she spiked yet another temperature!! I think she's allergic to UCH!!! She recovered by Wednesday, and Georgia came to see her with her nan, and also Uncle Bob - she was in good spirits and was cheerful. However, by Wednesday late afternoon, the temperature had spiked again - the nurses took cultures and she was started on antibiotics straight away - the temperature didn't subside this time and she was more than 38.5 degrees for most of the night. By Friday, she was on 2 lots of antibiotics - one once a day, and one 3 times a day. We therefore had to go straight to our local hospital - West Middlesex - for the antibiotics to be administered.We stayed there over night Friday and Saturday and Sarah was really not very well. She was lethargic and sick, and not happy to be kept in hospital. Today, Sunday, we were allowed out between doses, so I could get my washing done, and Sarah could enjoy some time at home.We have just had Sunday roast, and then after giving Sarah a well needed bath, we are going back in for the night so she can have tonights 10pm dose, then one at 6am!!! Hopefully, as she is feeling a bit better, we can go ahead with the chemo due next week, probably Tuesday, or Wednesday. Lets hope next weeks story is not the same!!!
