@ RNSH emergency

Now I have a quiet moment a quick update from the day.

Peaked 39.3C temp that started at 730pm tonight (kids in bed (V Imp), footy started (sorry GT!). Got myself a quiet room in RNSH emergency and a spunky Dr Matt! Emergency here tonight is a zoo - people bleeding and in pain everywhere.  Being "neutropenic" is a "walk right in, get a room to yourself" card - I love it, it is one of the only PERKS of this whole gig!  Now I'm just waiting for them to organise the zoo outside, and the circus will start for me - blood tests, chest xrays, waiting, IV antibiotics, waiting,ER DR to talk to specialist, more waiting blah blah ,,,,,,,,,,

Today, appoint with Dr Will;

Abdo lesion GONE! THANK YOU GOD, thank you modern medicine, and thanks to all those praying for me, sending universe vibes, positive karma, love and well wishes!

Lung lesions mixed response BUT encouraging enough for Dr Will to feel an allogenic stem cell transplant in August would be his recommended option going forward.  He will present my case to Hopsital Board for approval on Monday and is quietly confident that it will go ahead.

PICC line in with no drama's this morning, and pleased to have it now i'm back in the bowels on RNSH! and having heaps of tests and IV stuff - don't need a cannula and very happy about that - my arms have had it.

So what are we feeling about all this - bloody terrific!  Our glass is half full and we are relieved to have a little good news - it goes a long way.  Special thanks to Glenn, he has been beside me the whole way and this week in particular has been a gruelling one phycisally and emotionally - my angel on earth!

Hi Michelle,

That is amazing news that your abdo lesion is gone...PRAISE GOD....the power of prayer is powerful!!!

I'm still praying and believing for you that your body will have complete healing and restoration. I know you still have a journey to go but please find peace in knowing that you are constantly being covered by prayer. I think of you every day.

Take care beautiful lady.
