Just a little Patience...

Not a good day today, Sarah spent most of the day wiped out due to a disturbed nights sleep. One minute she was feeling extremely cold, the next she was burning up and her temperature was soaring past 40c coupled with a very low blood pressure reading requiring a special boost of fluids to bring this up. Sarah is on a regime of strong antibiotics and she also had blood taken from a main artery in her arm (a very painful procedure) which was sent off to Intensive Care for extra analysis for infections. Thankfully, that came back with nothing sinister and she was ordered extra units of blood and platelets to help boost her.

Just when you think of the rollercoaster of events from the last 4 months can not deal up any more surprises there are still yet further barriers and demands both mentally and physically to face. The realisation of the difficult journey ahead for us all is not far from our minds but it is now that we must focus on and getting Sarah better from what is her worst infection to date.
