We have more or less reached the end of the quiet period. Tomorrow Kay has to be in Nijmegen for an operation to install a second line into her body. Unlike her portal this is an external line, meaning that hygene and maintenance become an issue and she will no longer be able to sport or enjoy a bath. The operation involves a general anaesthetic, so she will be allowed home on Saturday, hopefully.
We haven't yet told her about the operation and, in particular, its consequences. She is certain to fly into a rage when she learns that she can't sport or bath. And so far she has done a great job of avoiding the oncoming nightmare, but in the light of this development she won't be able to do that quite so effectively.
Marion & I are sure that there's been a diagnostic error somewhere: how can a child that is so tough, fit and active possibly be in need of a bone marrow transplant?
