Today is Saturday and not a huge amount to report really.
Olivers platelets today are 76K so he is holding on to them quite nicely considering his history. His White blood cell count remains the same so no changes on that front.
He continues not to want to eat or drink much but considering how much worse things could be we are trying to count our blessings. The rash/discolouration he has due to the treosulphan is starting to peel just like sunburn and the skins looks OK underneath so we are just trying to keep it from getting too dry and itchy. He has, as yet not had a temperature and all his obs are within normal limits. The doctors continue to re-assure us that he is doing really well.
As I write he is asleep having 200 ml of milkshake pumped in via his NG tube! At the same time as having his Aciclovir IV infusion.
I think our new baby his having a growth spurt as I feel like Im going to burst at the moment. Am going to see the midwife next week just to have a listen in and take my blood pressure etc.
We continue to get messages of love and support from home and this is very welcome- sending you all a big hug.
Its my turn to stay tonight so might not be able to update tomorrow. Will see if I can keep my eyes open tomorrow.

Hello Deb, Oliver & Dave, if the docs are happy, that's good news and reassuring. Good that there's not increase in temperature as that is a positive sign too. Food is not the all end all and as long as he's maintaining the fluids & feeds that's good too. So, 3 good strikes and no indicators to worry about. It's a good idea to get checked out with bubba as it's important you maintain good stability Deb. Get your rest too! Catch you all later. Love & Kisses to Oliver from Aunty & Uncle Seaside xxxxx
Hi Debbie, Dave and our little friend Oliver, Its re-assuring to know the Doctors are pleased with his progress, and all his obs are within normal limits. We hope everything is good news with the midwife visit too. You have come such a long way, and we are all proud of you. Love from Tracey, Richard, Gigi, Pips and Olivia xxxxx
