Kewcumber's Been In Hospital - her blood isn't Clotting

[MrsRecycle]

You may have missed Kewcumber around mumsnet for the past week, she has, sadly, been in hospital. They are trying to increase her platelets but it has been a long process. She is keeping her spirits up but missing her ds immensely although her dm has been bringing him to see her every day. For any of you that would like to see the side-effects of blood not clotting I've posted a couple of pictures of Kewcumbers arms on my profile (don't look at if you have a needle phobia!).

She is having the best treatment possible and is hoping that the double dose of everything (trust Kew!) that she is being given at the moment will ensure that she is home (and mumsneting!) very soon.

I'm sure she'll be updating you with all the gory details once she is online.

I've just left the hospital and her platelets are up to 44 so good news.
The steriods are workng so no more transfusions and the canula is out.
Might get home this weekend.

Get well soon, kewcumber

Ouch! Get wel soon kewcumber. x

Poor Kew.
Hope you're soon well and back home.
We miss you!

Sending positive vibes, Kew.

You're missed.

That's great news - paddle.

I've been thinking about you so much al week Kew. Sure DD would like to give you a squeeze but might add to bruises so probable best not.

Les us know if you would like any visitors over the weekend or to take little man for a walk in Kew G's maybe.

LL thats great!!

Jojo I think kew might have mentioned that. They aren't too sure but once kew is home she'll have diagnosed herself using google.
Paddle am so pleased that her platelets are finally increasing - see the power of mumsnet is a wonderful thing !

Oh no, poor Kew - hope the recovery continues, and she's home at the weekend.

Oh dear, get well soon Kew.

aww kew. I hope you are feeling lots better soon.

btw Kew knows about the thread and was wondering if people having been placing bets on her survival

am under orders to put in a tenner when it reaches certain odds

so really she seems to be her old self again

Oh no!

Get well soon, Kew.

Thought she was just busy with work and family life and that.

Thanks for the update.

hope she gets better soon.

ouch, kewk, that looks SORE. i hope you're out soon, i missed dd something terrible when i was in hospital recently. by the end of my stay we did crafts etc (just from the chcarlie and lola comic, nothing complicated) when she was visiting and banned everyone else. nice to act like her mum again, iykwim? i hope you're well enough to give him a proper cuddle.

Am squeamish so can't look at photos. Hope you make a fast and full recovery Kew.

Oh Kewc - poor you. Hope you get home soon and are all healthy again asap.

she is hoping to be out by Monday so that is really good news, I know everyone will be keeping fingers firmly crossed

Poor Kewcumber! - had no idea she was so ill - is this a recurring thing?

Please pass on my best.
