D +82

We are now on Day 82 unbelievably - since transplant. Oliver has been in and out of Sheffield Childrens hospital and is now under the care of the GI doctor there to try to iron out his tummy problems.

His hair has started growing back but he still has his NG tube in situ as he is still on a number of drugs and overnight feeds to meet his fluid target.

He has had a couple of unexplained rashes, and I suppose post transplant you think the worst each time.

He has tested positive once to Adenovirus in his pooh which is quite nasty but so far its not in his blood or this throat so Sheffield continue to keep an eye on this also.

We wonder when the fear will leave us, as his platelet count is now normal, we are no longer worrying about bruises but infection so one worry has turned into another. It does come with the territory of transplant but nevertheless is still very hard.

Baby is due in three weeks and I am really looking forward to his arrival - not least cos i feel like a useless lump and the moment!

Thanks for all your messages of support and your continuous concern and love - it means to world to us all.
