However on 9th Dec Roz got called in to be admitted into Derriford and put onto intravenous special antibiotics at 4.00 p.m, as the CMV results from Wednesdays checks showed that it had reared its ugly head again. We were in within the hour. (The results might have been caused in part by 'sicking' up her tablets a couple of days - who knows. Nausea is a real pain - if you can keep the tablets down, you get better much quicker)
- No beds available when she got there
- They offered a bed in Outpatients area - which is a bit like in a corridor
- The on call pharmacist turned up at 9:30 p.m. It took hours to contact him - the nurses thought that he had left his bleeper behind. It took 2 hours to make up the drug, which then required a second pharmacist to check it as it is a very controlled drug. She started having the drip at midnight, then we took her back to our house to sleep. She was admitted again at 9:00 a.m. and has had a bed there since then.
- The doctors and nurses were really good - and kept bring drinks etc
They actually only need here in twice a day to have the drip given - 12 hours apart. So she is getting home for a few hours in-between to see the kids, etc and sleeping in the hospital over night. Again she is having problems eating, sleeping, being sick, and headaches. The faster this CMV virus is dealt with the better, as the drugs being used to treat it suppress also suppress the new bone marrow.
