An infected foot has put Lauren back in hospital. Not sure how, however her neutrophils have taken a nose dive and her platelets have been low, necessitating numerous transfusions. Neutrophils are now back in normal range and infection is retreating. Did mean her PICC line, in for well over 6 months, had to come out and a new one will be inserted for Melbourne (RCH)
On a pleasing note, Inotuzumab (Pfizer's wonder drug) has again done what it's supposed to and brought Lauren's blast count right down to minimal levels which should see us through to her treatment in Melbourne later this month (21 Jan onwards).
Not sure what's happening about her planned Melb trip next Monday for tests. There is talk of doing them at the RAH as nothing intrusive or can't be done here.
