After being told by Drs this morning that she would have to stay in all week, Mari was told this afternoon that if she has two more lots of intravenous antibiotics she could have chemo tomorrow and either stay in over night and just go down the corridor for chemo or come home late tonight and go back in in the morning. Guess which Mari opted for! She wants a bath and good sleep.
The good news is that her blood count is up and the infection levelling out. The haematologist consultant told Mari that they are more concerned in the long run about her tumour than the infection. So they want to continue chemo. Tomorrow seems a bit soon but Mari understands the need for it.
Thank you for all your prayers. Please pray that Mari will cope with the chemo, the infection will completely go and that her white cells will build up more quickly after tomorrows treatment. She does not want to go through the last couple of weeks again!
God bless
With love
The Days and Phil

Hope you're all sleeping well right now. We've got a stunner of a day that is spoiled only by being at work! All the best for tomorrow and for the next few days of recovery. There's a LinkNZ conference starting on Thurs night so H and I are going to half each. Looking forward to it! Will pray that tomorrow is just another day trip to the hospital...

I'm so glad you could sleep at home last night! Will be praying for you today - that the chemo would do it's job and fight the cancer, but still allow your body to fight the infection. I hope being home allows for more sleep and rest and that you continue to feel yourself gaining strength each day.
Sending lots of love and big hugs, looking forward to seeing you (it's been way too long!).
love,

Hi Mari, Dave, Rhi and Phil
I am so pleased to hear that the infection is clearing and your blood count is up Mari.

Take Care

So good to read your homeward bound hun... a bath and bed sound's like a mighty good option after the weeks you've had.
I have this week off work, and start my new job with an Ad agency in Parnell next week. Faith turned 6 on the weekend, so we had a child invasion (party) on Saturday morning - face painting, pinatas, musical statues and mini hot dogs galore - you would so have of been in your element!
Lots of love, hugs and kisses xxxooo gr
There's nothing like your own bed ey? I hope you got a fantastic nights sleep. Good news that the blood count is up - thank you God! I will continue to call forth those white blood cells and pray that you are not left feeling too grotty after today's chemo. With much love, Lisa XXXXXXXX
Great to read this news.
Love from Mary, Terry, Abbie and Matt Wood
