    Stephen has been admitted to our local hospital with an infection in his Hickman line. Fingers crossed everybody please that they get it under control quickly. They are hoping to let him out in 24 hours.

    One of the side effects from this is they won't use the line for blood or drugs for fear of spreading the infection round his body, so the poor man has had to have another canular in the crook of his arm this time.

    Love from Gill xx

    Im sorry to hear of Stephens infection. I sincerely hope he gets over it quickly, and is back home with your soon.
    How is he otherwise Gill? is he recovering from his SCT? I remember you saying he was finding the 2nd one a struggle.
    Peter will be going in soon for his 2nd one and wondered how long it may be. I believe the recovery time the 2nd time is a little longer. HEY HO.
    Best wishes to him

    Hi Gill.

    I had a week in hospital the week before last with a high temperature – they took 2 lots of blood culture (making 6 in all) but the high dose general penicillin anti-biotics they gave me sorted the problem before anything showed on the cultures. (A Doctor told me that there is a 90/95% failure-to-show in all blood cultures and that my case is the usual one).

    I hope the same works out for Stephen and that he is home soon and back on the recovery track.

    Best wishes.:-)
