On the up

Maddy's had a better day today. Her temperature is back to normal and her neutrophil count is rising. These two indicators suggest that she's 'turned the corner' with the infection. She got up today for the first time since Wednesday and spent much of the day in the lounge/day room. Her morpheine is gradually being reduced and one of her anti-sickness tablets has discontinued.
Maddy had her head shaved late yesterday, so she's really part of the club now. Julie says she looks really beautiful. Chris will confirm, no doubt, when he visits tomorrow......
