While She Was Sleeping
Ciara has spent much of the last seven days either being sick or sleeping. From Friday to about Tuesday she can't have spent more than a few hours awake. Then, a couple of days ago, she started perking up. Her numbers are up, she stopped being neutropenic on Wednesday, and today, the strict isolation has finished! That's what a good few days of sleep does you.
I can't believe it really, her recovery is much quicker than I thought it would be. She's still being sick, but the diarrhoea isn't so bad and she's sitting up more and chatting (and being cheeky) like the good ol' Ciara we know and love. Tomorrow we'll be taking her out of the room if she's feeling up to it, but there's no rush.
Halloween came and went for Ciara without much fanfare. She couldn't have too many decorations up during the build up, and we couldn't see any fireworks from her window, but she does have a light up (and wipe-clean) ghost in the room. This is the second year in a row without us spending a decent Halloween with Ciara. This time last year Yvonne was in St James' having her dodgy tooth removed. A very long twelve months, I can tell you that. Talking of Yvonne and hospitals, she's trying to hold Baby #2 in for as long as poss, but it's getting close!! Moses basket and baby clothes are up at Ronald McDonald House, just in case.
Which hospital shall we visit next then? Well first up, The Coombe Hospital for Women, then, let's see, St Luke's, for Ciara's Radiotherapy. That will do I think.

That's fantastic news! Been worried with no posts but can totally understand you've had other things to do. So glad to hear she's recovering well.
There's a little something knitted on the way for Tucker-teenie #2 - don't worry, he only has to wear it once so you can get a photo for me if you don't like it ;P
Did you get Amber's comment earlier? I was down at hers on a brighton research trip and were noobing around on her macpad thing and weren't sure if it worked.
*hugs*
dearest Elliot & Vonnie, as ever thinking of you and sending biggest love to Ciara, bless you all and rub bump for me too xxxx amber, si & tiaan xxx
What fantastic news. As usual when things are bad I keep strong but the minute I get good news - I bubble! Everyone at TW was delighted and it really made our day.
I hope you both were able to get some sleep whilst Ciara was getting so much.
