We were expecting Chris to be let out of hospital today, as he’s feeling much better and his white cell count has an upward trend at last. He had another blood transfusion, which was due to finish around 6pm, so he asked me to turn up then to take him home. I did so, and we packed his bags ready to leave. The nurse came in to do his final “observations” before discharge (temperature, blood pressure etc) and just our luck his temperature spiked again. So they took yet more blood samples and the duty doctor decided it would be safer to keep him in for another night. At least he has clean clothes and books to read. We’re both very frustrated that he can’t come home yet, though we agree that it’s much better to be safe than sorry.

Hi both. Have just picked up on Chris being hospitalised. It’s good to hear that the antibiotics seem to be doing their job, and even better to hear that you now have more books. Not having a book to read is purgatory. I hope that your system stablises soon, and that you are able to go home.
Thank you, Veronica. I am back home now with full access to the entire library 🙂
