Catherine has a temperature (again!)

Catherine's neutrophils, which fight infection, are now 0.08 (which means she doesn't really have any). She has a temperature, but thankfully this has not gone any higher than 38 degrees. She also has a bit of an upset tummy and a cough and looks rather pale although she has plenty of haemoglobin (she is not anaemic). She said she 'doesn't feel good' today so we have been at home monitoring her temperature, giving her cuddles and trying to give her lots of comfort. We were awake a lot last night, as Catherine started to feel more unwell.

She is, however, still eating and drinking well, and found she was able to take part in some colouring and dot-to-dot puzzles this afternoon.

Please pray that her temperature does not go higher than 38 degrees and that she does not have an infection. If her temperature hits 38 degrees we need to alert the hospital. If it reaches 38.5 we will need to have IV antibiotics which will mean a hospital stay for us all. Thank you for your prayers.
