My dearest family

How are you all??

I hope you are all well :-)

Well here I am home from the hospital, feeling very, very weak & tired but I
wanted to post a short update for you..


I didn't feel too clever on 25th June & had the rash - only had three bruises
this time -

went to get a FBC & plates where 45.. I was jaundiced too, I thought I had a tan
!!!

Admitted immediatly, line fitted & plasma (PE) commenced that night... the next
day plates where 25...


Plates have slowly risen but HB taking longer. I had PE until last monday we got
through 5 bags & then I started having rigors, chills & severe nausea - the line
was taken out immediately & I commenced on IV antibiotics..

Unfortunately I've got septicaemia - blood cultures came back positive that I
have 2 infections.

There where lots of cold / flu viruses on the ward so it was thought best to
return home with meds as it was safer than catching more bugs.. so for now its
20 antibiotics a day, which Ive been advised may lower the plates so fingers
crossed all will be ok..

I'm back next week for a check up... & will post an update xx


I was that shocked with the platelet count I thought it was No 5 but its relapse
No 6.. so lets hope I have a few years in remission, as you all know this has
been a long one for me - since October so lets hope its all sorted now..

Thank you all for your support (as always) your all so very dear to me, I'll
post next week

Until then my friends
high plates & lots of love

Jeannie xxxxxxxx


ps: time for some sleep xx
