Flaking Away
Ciara's skin is getting worse unfortunately and she's been bleeding all over her bed clothes. It doesn't help that she keeps scratching at herself. The lab reports on her skin came up negative to any bugs so it's looking like an after effect of the chemo. Plenty of paraffin gel should sort her out plus this excellent silicon dressing the skin nurses gave to us. Very hi-tech stuff that's really adhesive yet comes away easily (!) and doesn't leave any residue.
Unfortunately her temperature has been spiking again. It went up to 38.2 this morning and has ruled out a trip to the park at least for today. Maybe tomorrow though. She'll need more cultures taken including a needle in the hand. Not fun.

And on it goes. The strength you all need doesn's bear thinking about. All the rest of us can do is pray. xx
All our best wishes to Ciara - we salute her bravery.
