Nicky had to go for a blood test today so am just sitting here waiting for the hospital to phone about the results and to let me know if he needs to be admitted tomorrow  . Please keep your fingers crossed for us that he doesn't. Pauline UK |

Sorry to hear he is still sick Pauline. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers and will hope he can stay at home in his own bed.

Thank you all for thinking about Nicky. The hospital have phoned with Nicky's blood results and they are not too bad for him  (dreadful for a healthy person though!!). His HB is 24.2 which is slightly down on the last blood test but his platelets are down again - not so good . His blood clotting is about the same, not good but acceptable for his conditon. Thank goodness we have escaped a hospital admission this time  . Pauline |

Hello. Apart from the DS Nicky has an uncorrected AVSD (the risk were very high 18 years ago when he was baby). He also has Eisenmenger Syndrome and severe pulmonary hypertension. His life expectancy is around 30 years old, now that might sound dreadful BUT i was originally told he would never live to be 2, then 5 then a teenager so 30 is a big bonus. Hope you understand what I mean by that Pauline. |
