Laura's war wound

Over the last couple of days Laura's haemoglobin dropped, so she needed another blood transfusion. Her temperature is still fluctuating like crazy. She is being given loads of paracetamol. She's having lots of blood tests to check if she has an infection anywhere. So far they have all come back negative.

God love her she has an unmerciful sore bum!! The paediatrician thinks the food they were giving her through her feeding tube might be upsetting her tummy and so has given her an awful dose of diariah (spelling to be querried again!!). They have changed it tonight so we'll see how it affects her overnight. She took a good bit of oral feeding today but she refuses her bottle so far.

She was off oxygen most of the day. She's really only being kept there because of her chest. Its improving every day. But we're used to Laura having a bad chest and at this stage we just want her home. Mr O'Brien will review her again on Friday.
