Visitors

.....seem to make a significant difference to how our patient feels.
Ever present mum, Julie, is starting to feel that no-body else ever sees Maddy in one of her dips. Julie notes that, around the time of a visit, Maddy invariably perks up and her demeanour brightens noticeably.
Maddy started a new course of antibiotics today that will result in her staying at Jimmy's until Friday, at least, and possibly quiet a bit longer than that. As she comes through the nadir of the current cycle over the rest of this week, she should start to feel better.
This suggests that the next few days or so are probably a good time to visit.

If you'd like to visit Maddy at Jimmy's, why not give Julie a call on 0773 0921720 to plan a suitable time/date ?

One note of caution though.
Please, if you have any sort of cough, cold or sneezing or (and this is particularly important) - if you have come into contact with chickenpox in any way - please wait until you are entirely confident that you are fit and well. Even though Maddy should be out of her neutropaenia (high susceptibility to infection) very shortly, we need to be vigilant on behalf of other patients on the ward.

Thanks for your understanding on this issue.
