Just wanted to start a prayer thread for expat's little girl, Ailidh, who has been very ill with leukaemia. Just wanted to show our support and pray that her treatment works and that she is back in action very, very soon!

The brackets should say oh heck is it ok to feel things in my bones? Not oh heck that you will get through this.
Damn iPod!

Great news expat. Still rooting for you all

CRP is a protein in the blood which rises when the body has inflammation going on. One of the causes of the inflammatory process can be infection. So CRP going up is a marker that the patient has something going on you need to be on top of. CRP coming down - you're winning against whatever it is. I'm sure Expat can explain this in a much better way but basically yes CRP going down is a good thing Smile

I always felt in my bones that Aillidh would be OK in the end and I had better be right!

So less CRP = less crap.

Good good good news. I joined the FB page using DDs loging (if that's the right term), she exitedly updates me.
Good good good girl A, keep that CRP going the right way. Go for it jiggy platelets.

Elephantscantdothemoonwalk · 16/06/2012 08:06

MadamFolly · 16/06/2012 09:27

You sound so much more positive now expat. I hope things keep improving.

Morning. Going to clean up a bit here then be up later. Today is the longest period of free time I have until Fri so you can plan lots for today! :) Think you should have lunch out and EAT real food not microwaved food!

Take your time, BK is taking hers. LOL. I'm going to do my laundry and see if Gregg's can't get extra cupcakes in for her big day.

DESPERATELY need Tangled paper plates, cups, napkins and birthday banners, but none to be had through this end of town.

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 16/06/2012 09:49

do they all need to be tangled? can see lots online but not sure where to physically buy them

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 16/06/2012 09:50

I am having a cuppa then going to tidy up a bit.

Jjou · 16/06/2012 09:57

Hi Expat, have been following the thread and praying hard for A and you. Delurking to say that Party Pieces website have loads of Tangled stuff and they do next day delivery. They're usually really good. So much best wishes to you both, hope A has a lovely birthday x

Have birthday banner, streamers, balloons and those wee cocktail umbrellas for Aillidh's birthday.
Please could you PM the address and I'll send them.

GentleOtter · 16/06/2012 10:17

They are not Tangled but will send them anyway.

expatinscotland · 16/06/2012 11:37

24 neutrophils today! I love her cons, 'She's still seriously ill.' 'Yes, Professor, I know, but I'm trying to be positive. It's new territory for me.' :)

KristinaM · 16/06/2012 11:43

Consultant is obv worried that at first sign of good news you will pop her in the car and take her to macdonalds for her birthday Wink
