makindo You say that she had an infection last week but they gave her a round of chemo on Thursday? Usually they would delay treatment if you have an infection and if the chemo / steroids are affecting her to that extent I would have thought there would be things they would do for that too. Is she telling them everything? They really do try to make it as humane as possible and have a lot in their armoury in the way of medication, reducing and delaying doses, support, alternative therapies and counselling to achieve that. I would make sure she is talking to them, and taking advantage of all they have to offer, absolutely no point suffering in silence. Soup is good though, my friend loved pea and lettuce and I had a thing for Miso.

at your night time shenanigans, that is so way beyond the call of good parenting. A sainthood can't be long coming....
gigs We love In the Night Garden, ever since we were on holiday with friend's 6 year old and watched it every morning with him (actually he usually went off to the pool because he got so fed up with all the cackling women). Once you appreciate it was clearly dreamt up by someone on drugs and meant to be watched ironically it is very funny!
Hope the infection carries on clearing up.
Creaking this morning, but slept very soundly last night so I know what I need for my insomnia, Two hours jumping about to The Stones and Jugs of cocktails of random alcohol thrown together by desperate barman faced with hoards of desperately thirsty punters and running out of booze. The Stones were absolutely amazing, they really do seem to get better with age. I've seen them in every decade since the 70s and this was the best yet. The organisation was appalling though, absolutely packed, not enough facilities and the loos started flooding when the water backed up. Thankfully we had forked out to be near the front and could escape the worst of it.
