Poorly - update

Catherine is feeling quite poorly today. She is quite lethargic, feels cold and has headaches. She is also getting some abdominal and leg pain and was up most of the night needing her legs and tummy rubbed. She is also starting to feel a bit warm - her temperature is 37degrees celsius. I'm hoping it doesn't turn into a fever otherwise we will need intravenous antibiotics and she will be in hospital for a few days.

We have just had her blood test results through and whilst she is quite anaemic it is still not low enough for a blood transfusion. However, her neutrophils are only 0.08 which means she is neutropenic and will be very susceptible to infection. She must feel bad because she even ASKED for the nurse to come and put her wiggly in and take blood. She also still has the annoying cough, and coughed so much this morning that she was nearly sick.

Please pray that she does not get an infection at this point. A lot of our friends have been poorly this weekend, and now we know that Catherine has no 'fighter cells' we really need some prayers. Mark and I also have colds, so we don't want to pass these on to our little one. Thankyou.
