Immunisations

Not much to report this time, thankfully, other than another immunisation negotiated. This time around a little cranky, but no fevers. She had another bone marrow aspirate and blood tests taken on the Monday, with 3 immunisations the following Friday, so increased crankiness was probably fair enough by Friday afternoon. By all reports however it was a pretty special patty that she threw when one of her favourite toys was left at home!

Unfortunately at nearly three Abigail is definitely starting to reach an age where she understands what is, and more importantly, what is about, to happen. Add finger pricks to the menu to get blood tests now that her lines are out and hospital is less of a fun place than it used to be. As we all know she can be a 'very strong spirit' at times (don't know where she gets that from)... But, Wiggles/Dora/Barbie band aids seem to cure all manner of ills. She has also re-discovered chocolate this Easter and beyond, so that always helps. No matter how full she is, there seems to be room for yet another piece of chocolate (don't know who she gets that from either...).

We won't know the test results for a month or two at best, but her blood titres were all very good, and her general health is great. She has recovered her weight from when she was ill earlier in the year and is again putting on weight and eating well. So, as always, no news is good news, but she is doing well and the major hurdles for this month are now behind her.
