It's been a while. That's probably a good thing because in Maintenance phase then no change is a good sign. In the last couple of months Celia has been doing fine. Her chemo dose was reduced to half what it was previously and as a result her body is coping well. A couple of weeks ago it went back to to 3/4 dose and, whilst she has shown occasional signs of tiredness, there have been no other issues.
Cue...Monday 4am very high temp...dad has to cancel flights to Sydney for a planned business trip and instead spend the day in Monash hospital.
Perhaps we overdid it at the weekend having far too much fun whilst Lydia took herself of walking at Wilson's prom with a dozen other kinder mums. We had football, swimming, Mabel birthday picnic, play centre, cake, fish and chips and even managed to keep the house looking reasonably respectable. All that must have tired Celia out a bit because just as Lydia arrived home on Sunday night, Celia started to feel yucky and her temperature headed steadily northwards. We decided to hold off until the morning but at 38.8 degrees at 4am (during one of the many Mabel night time interruptions) it was time for an early rise and a trip to see the doctors.
By 2pm, with some antibiotics and a few tests she was allowed home. We're back in tomorrow for more tests but hopefully that will be it for the latest little episode.
Celia's main concern in all this...tears because she will miss her piano lesson on Tuesday.
Still, at least she got a hug from Ariel today.
