Hi everyone,
We have had a set back..... Tim is back in hospital. Tim presented a slight temperature when having his routine PICC line redress on Tuesday. Doctors were concerned by this and ordered immediate blood tests and cultures. Unfortunately, Tim's neutrophils had dropped again and he has become neutropenic. Blood culture test results have indicated an infection in his body and it looks as though the infection is primarily in is in his PICC line. This means that the PICC in his left arm will have to come out and a new one put into his right.
Tim is coping incredibly well with all this. So much easier to deal with when you have been through it all before. On admission to the ward on Tuesday night when the nurse asked if he wore hearing aids he responded with "what?" and is English your first language, he said "Si". MMMMmmmm. The nurse thought he was hilarious!!!!!! (Note the sarcasm!!)
More to come, no doubt.
Love Andi xx.
A place for friends, family and all concerned to keep up with all the latest goings on with the Hamilton family, in particular Tim's progress as he battles Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
