...or am I? They had to stick another needle in me today. I've got a cannula again, for the drug they want to administer and for a transfusion long-line. The reason being that I put on 113
g's overnight, which isn't so good as it's false weight. I'm retaining fluid
again, just a little, but enough for them to want to give me some more
ferusamide to help me wee wee it out. My oxygen requirement has gone up and it could be due to fluid on my lungs. They did an x-ray of them and they're a bit squidgy at the moment. However they gave me the drug and I wee weed and my oxygen requirement came down.
I'm also a bit anaemic, my
haemoglobin level is a low, so they've given me a blood transfusion. This should help with my oxygen requirement too. In fact when Mummy and Daddy got to me today I was on about 40% requirement, when Mummy left I was in the high 20's. So it has already come down. There's no way I want to go back on
CPAP, so I'll do what I'm told...
We'll see how I get on. It's likely that I'll lose a bit of weight, which will be fluid weight; as today I'm over a kilo, which isn't quite right. Stay tuned and I'll let you know!

Another needle! and I was hoping you were going to remain free of them, never mind my sweetheart its to make you better, which I hope you will be very soon as I worry about you. It may only be the light, but have you a hint of red in your hair? how wonderful. Your mummy was light auburn when she was a tiny baby. Get better soon my darling and I will speak to you when the next blog comes out. I love you loads.
