Asleep in hospital

Catherine has steadily improved today and, thanks to Calpol, her temperature is now steady and down to 36.4. We are waiting for the results of her blood test to find out what sort of infection she has. At the moment, they think it is most likely to be a virus, which means we can leave hospital on Saturday. If it were a bacterial infection we would possibly be in hospital longer, but it all depends on how she responds to the antibiotics. She still has absolutely no neutrophils, but hopefully these will start to edge up again in the next few days.

Catherine is currently fast asleep, but will be woken through the night for her various medicines and monitoring.

Please pray the infection is resolved quickly and that Catherine continues to take everything in her stride. Thankyou.
