What else????!!!!!????

Catherine has just come in this evening with a temperature over 37 degrees, feeling as warm as a cuddly hot water bottle. She also has a runny nose. If her temperature gets to 38 degrees, we have to go to hospital for intravenous antibiotics. At our previous home, it used to be 38.5 degrees, but it is a different protocol here.

Oh boy. What else is going to go wrong this week? Mark has already made the 180 minute round trip to the hospital to get her a prescription for a different oral antibiotic this evening.

So far in the last few weeks Catherine has had, Mucositis, a urine infection, abdominal cramps, vomiting, Methotrexate rash, has lost all her hair again and now has the beginnings of a temperature. She has really gone through the wars this past few weeks.

Please pray that this infection/virus is mild and easily treatable. Please pray that despite me not feeling well, I manage to sort everything out with Cath over the next few days. Please pray that if she goes in, we still manage to balance a busy workload this weekend and that everything goes well.

And please also pray for Naomi Gammie, Catherine's little friend who is in hospital tonight being treated for pneumonia. Naomi is only a baby, and she needs our prayers.

I know we're probably going in because Mark has just started to pack the hospital bag, and he's only just taken Catherine's temperature again...
