went to see hematolergest today as mums blood is very low it has been for years .so when they said they couldnt do the operation till the 16th might not even be then if they cant get her blood right so the dr today who she saw has put mum on steroids called predenisolone which mum has to start in the morning as she will have to take 2 every morning for 2 weeks .she took steroids some years ago but couldnt stay on them long but it made her platelets go up and this time being as they are low at just 53 they cant operate as she could bleed while they are operating so fingers crossed these tablets work .else they will have to try some think else they need her platelets to be well over 100 god knows how they are going to work that quick. we have to go to the hospital again this friday morning to have another blood test to see if they are working and we have to go next tueasday to as she aint having the operation now hopefully on the 16th he dr wants to see mum next tuesday at the hospital again.so i know they said the 16th but i wont say when she has got to have the operation now till we get the all clear with her blood and then i will let you all know .when we got there today we had to wait as mum had to be weighed but before they could do that a nurse came up to mum and told her that they couldnt find the referal letter to say she had got to be there not the one mum had but off the dr any way i got a bit annoyed and said well she has to have her on o monday not knowing then that she cant have it now i did go and say sorry to the nurse who said not to worry but they sorted it in the end else we would have been home for 3 .so thats it just hope the meds work. |

"Look at the sky-it's not dark, and black, and without character. The black is in fact deep blue. And over there, lighter blue. And blowing through the blueness and the blackness, the wind swirling through the air-and then, shining, burning, bursting through the stars! Can't you see how they roar their light?Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes." Vincent Van Gogh actor Tony Curran 'Vincent and the Doctor' (2010) | |

Oh you must be fit to be tied! But the prednisone should be a big help. Did they give your Mum any kind of diet to get on to help build up her counts as well? They want to be sure she'll be safe on the table with a good fighting chance right from the start. Good that they are being this thorough with her! So now it's ...hurry up and wait some more. Nuts. How is she doing with this delay? Keeping her spirits up I hope. |

big hugs - so aggravating to what what needs to be done and that you can't do it yet - |
