Second one done and dusted...The new cocktail of drugs she received made her temperature spike a lot. She reached 41.5 degrees (or just under 107F). This made the doctors decide to suspend the treatment for several hours each day in order to keep her temperature and her blood pressure under control.
She was allowed home on Saturday 20 September, but again extremely tired.
This last week her uncle Shaun stayed most of the days with her, which she enjoyed a lot. I took most of the night shifts. Saskia was wondering why Melanie did not stay with her. We could not tell her at that time, but Melanie was busy every day to transfer Saskia's bedroom into something new and refreshing. Ikea had given us a voucher to be spend on Saskia and we bought a new high bed for her, re-decorated her walls (painting and wallpaper) and gave her cupboard a make over as well. It looks absolutely fantastic and the look on Saskia's face when she saw it for the first time was priceless.
She starts to feel now as well that she is nearly at the finish line and that the count down can actually start.
3 more hospital stays and then we're done!
In God we trust.
