well sunday was a long day and night =[ i took Alex to DEM at about 6pm they had been told by brisbane we were on our way in... so had a small wait in the waiting room then into the cubical for the dr to check Alex and see what the next step would be the Dr was lovely she was also just from RBH so know how far we would normally travel, they checked Miss Alex over and her temps still stayed below 38 ( just) but that may have been due to panadol before we got told to go in. they finally did bloods and spoke to Brisbane oncology about what they should do ( we have finished Chemo in nov so was hoping all would be good and sent home) Brisbane wanted her watched incase the temp spiked so watched for 24 hrs at least then if it goes up antibiotics for 24-48 hrs ( full course)  so we had to wait around in DEM for awhile alex was Cold and shivering so she definatly had a fever but the temp was still 37.5 or just over!!!  finally brisbane called back and wanted her started on Antibiotics asap just incase so a drip was started alex napped and we waited some more... but midnight we got moved to a private room in the childrens ward and alex went back to sleep they took her temp and would you guess it  ( it was 40o) it had spiked like Brisbane had sort of forseen,

so luckily they had started antibiotics and now the waiting starts to see what it actually in as the cultures from her blood will take 48 hrs, I stayed with alex 2 nights and her temp finally started going down around 7pm monday night finally the bed was uncomfortable but I didnt care was so nice to just be with her as normally this is daddies part ♥  tuesday morning we had a visitor and seen Dr's they have told us as alex looks well and yes she was looking good ♥ that all test results coming in we could be home tonight...and on tuesday arvo Hubby took over as Robyn was getting feral and as we knew that we where waiting on blood cultures etc we should be all home tonight ♥I got home after lunch with Robyn and Hubby stayed at the hospital while I waited on the call to pick up Hubby and alex but OMG it feels good to be home,  but am still worried as this we thought was behind us but now know any infection we will have to be carefull about and that school is going to bring a few home... alex has missed 2 days so far and we will know more soon if she can go tomorrow or not but Robyn goes to Child care tomorrow so something to look forward too,  on a good note all alex's bloods that we got on sunday came back with good results so she has the counts to fight this and today she was so bright and happy she just wants to go to school lol.

I also went to the school teacher parent night which I forgot about then got the call I had been waiting for to pick alex up and have her home cultures all clear :)

now to see from The dr's if we can give her vitamins to help combat any new threats ??? as she is no longer undergoing treatment!!!
