How's Maddy doing ?

Madeleine was diagnosed with an abdomenal tumour on her dad's birthday, 12 May, 2005. On 31 May, this was confirmed as NHL, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma - Large B cell diffuse. Her chemotherapy treatment started that same evening. This blog gives you the latest news on just how she's doing.

...and back to Jimmy's......again

The previous post was almost subtitiled.....(But for how long?)....but there's no point in tempting fate, is there?
Whatever...(as the teeenage generation say)....Maddy lasted just 4 hours at home.
It did gave Julie just a bit of time to spend with the boys, as she watched Robert & Bertie play cricket for an hour, at Old Town.
Maddy really enjoyed seeing some of her friends again, but she also found it very tiring. Just before going to bed at around 20.30, she was ill and 'lost' (threw up) her feeding tube. After the Monday night/Tuesday morning experience, there seemeed no option other than to return to hospital, for safety's sake.
Maddy finally got to sleep around midnight, back in the same bed she vacated earlier that day. As she slept, she was receiving fluids to stave off hydration and some of her medication.
Maddy's approaching the nadir of her third cycle, so it seems quite likely that she may stay in Jimmmy's for a while now, maybe 2 weeks or so, until she's received the drugs for her 4th chemo cycle.
However....as you're probably weary of hearing by now....it is really tricky to predict.
More later.....
