Day 1.5 in the Big Barts House!

Sarah was told to report to the Lawrence Ward no earlier than 4.30pm for her second dose of Chemotherapy but she headed over to the hospital by 11.30am to have her observations and bloods taken and to see the doctors. By the time the doctors arrived to examine Sarah by 2pm they had assumed that Sarah had already had her second dose of Chemotherapy (this was to be given at 8am), obviously we were not aware of this and were told it was to be given at 4.30pm that afternoon!! Sarah was hooked up by 3pm and given her second dose of Chemotherapy, albeit 7 hours behind schedule. I found the apparent lack of communication alarming as someone had misread the routine required and although not a critical error it is something that we could do without - the medical care can not be faulted but basic administration sometimes appears to be amiss.Happy Birthday to our niece Ella Mae who is 8 years old today, I can clearly remember taking the phone call to let me know she was born - I was down in Somerset on a cricket tour, today I am still away from home but playing in a more important match that I intend to smash for six!
