Yes. Isita has been sent home for another week. The doctors want her to be in perfect shape before we start the antibodies. Right now she still has a cough and cold, her haemoglobin is a bit low, and one of her liver function markers is a bit high maybe as a result of the cis-retinoic acid pills.

Although we are keen to get going with this treatment, any time at home is brilliant. And as the doctors pointed out, it means Isita will be at home on her birthday this Friday rather than in hospital, and probably in pain. We can’t have a big party though, we have to keep her infection free.
