Hb 109
WBC 9.65
PLT 45
N 4.5

The good news is some of the pumps on the 'christmas tree' are starting to disappear (well one anyway !!) or others are not being used continuosly anymore, which must be good.

Lauren spent today with a fever and has been feeling sick as they try and increase her feeds through her nasal tube. Thank goodness when she sicked up a few times today the tube didn't come out - how we are grateful for little things like this. Mucositis has just about gone - it certainly isn't troubling her anymore if it's there.

Julie & I had lunch together today for the first time since being up here, at Coogee beach as Grandma spent the afternoon with Lauren. Coogee is magic. Could easily live here.

By the way, anyone interested in joining a team for the 'Light the Night' walk in Adelaide on September 17, there's a team being registered by neighbours. Visit www.lightthenight.org.au or call 1800 500 088 for details. Under "join a team" search for: "Invergowrie Ave Friends of Lauren" and follow the links from there. Thanks Louise for organising this (see Update #34).
