For the first time in her treatment, Catherine has absolutely no neutrophils. These are the part of the blood that fights infection. It was a bit nerve racking hearing the news today, as she has always had a few neutrophils, even when she was immuno-suppressed earlier in her treatment. She already has a cold, and the hospital suggests that the cold is using whatever netrophils were in her blood stream since her last blood test.
We really need prayers now against infection. The greatest risk of infection for immuno-suppressed patients actually comes from usually harmless bacteria in their own bodies, so please also pray that she doesn't infect herself! So far, she has had no infections, so please keep praying that nothing else hits her system at this point.
At the moment, we have not been told to keep her away from nursery. If this changes, we will obviously keep her at home.
Thankyou for continuing to support our little girl.
