Update #49. Day +27. Day leave again (afternoon at least)

Today saw Lauren get day leave again in the afternoon. She had to wait for a visit from the infectious disease Doctor to look into a suspected fungal infection in her lungs, so she filled up a bit of time learning guitar with the music therapist.

She's being treated for a possible fungal infection as a result of the scans over the last few weeks here and months prior in Adelaide - the cause of the delay in the transplant in the first place. Having said this, they're still happy for her to have day leave at the moment. Whilst she's not getting fevers, her temperature spasmodically keeps running a little on the high side indicating something is brewing somewhere. The only way to be 100% certain is to operate for a biopsy as it's so small and not very accessible - which is not an option, so she's just being treated as if it is fungal infection. More drugs, but thankfully can be taken orally rather than the drip (Christmas tree is just about dead now, yeah!!!). Drip just goes on at night for feeds, more as a top up for fluids as of tonight.

Tonight Kate & Nathan got a cooking lesson for scones from Janelle of Channel 10's, "Ready, Steady, Cook" show who volunteers at Ronald McDonald house once each week and Ambassador for same. Lauren used to watch the show in Adelaide and wants to meet Janelle when she's allowed to mix with people again.
