Back home after six days in Launceston, with nothing but good news for a change.
Carole has recovered well from the last set back and every day you can see her looking stronger. She has lost a LOT of weight, but is smiling and laughing and determined to come home next week after by then more than four weeks in hospital.
Her son, Allan arrived yesterday and after getting over the shock of seeing her so thin is happy to see her feeling so up. her other son arrives on Saturday. other family members are also coming this weekend to help her celebrate her birthday, which is Monday. Her brother Ian is also talking of flying over from Scotland.
I can't believe how far she has come in the last week. She has also started her next round of chemo. Becauswe of her weakened state they devised a way to split it over several days so that the potential shock to her system is reduced. This was so good to know, as the doctors had told Rob they were very concerned that she would not be strong enough to tolerate it. But after a day and a half of infusion she is doing so well.
I am planning on going down again for Easter in three weeks. I am hoping that once she is home she will continue to get stronger.
