Kay had a bone marrow sample taken yesterday for the MRD. This procedure is performed under general anaesthetic (had to look that up in the spell checker...) so she was pale and tired when she got home last night. She'd also been sick in the car on the way home, including her NG tube. So she had to face the delight of having it refitted when she got home. Today she's a little tired and has decided not to go to school. Her teacher will come to our house this afternoon to give Kay some dedicated attention.
Kay's Hb (red cell) count was a little on the low side yesterday, but the rest of her levels were OK. However we have to go to the Catherina on Thursday for a blood test. I suspect that if her Hb is still low then we'll be there all day while she gets a unit of red blood.
For now we're waiting on the results of the MRD. Fingers crossed!
