Well I feel like I've been a roller coaster to hell and back over the last couple of weeks. About three weeks back my father in law from first marriage sadly passed away which ended the need for the 140 mile round trip hospital visiting but gave way to the sorting and attending of the funeral. Almost immediately my eldest daughter started being ill (possibly through emotional stress) and lost her job. She wassent for blood tests as she had a persistent cough and we were told she wasn't producing white cells or platelets and needed to go directly to another hospital 12 miles away for bone marrow biopsies etc. The consultant advised us not to make any stops on the way but to get there as soon as possible (told us to drive as there might be a slight delay with ambulances)
The next few days were awful waiting to hear the results but thankfully yesterday they decided that "what we thought we might find is not there" and so although not completely out of the woods she is home and responding very well to steroid treatment to boost cell production.
For the first time in many weeks I have nowhere to rush to, noone to cry over and worry about (yea like you ever stop worrying about your kids!). Its the Easter holidays and I can just relax
