or maybe just the sound of a scream would make a suitable title.
Annika is bleeding, again. Impossible. My mind is still trying to wrap around it. So far we haven't had any of the great quantities of her past acute bleeds. But it's blood where it is most definitely not supposed to be.
On the plus side, her mood today is better than it's been in a few days. She's like a little prisoner, looking forward to the release to the outside world, but then overwhelmed and unhappy with all that freedom. Back in her little blue and yellow room, she's perked up back in familiar surroundings.
Or maybe it's just that the antibiotics have the fever under control. Whatever it is, she's speaking and grinning and coming up with mischievous plans involving straws and unused packets of ketchup (just imagine).
[expletive]! [expletive]! [expletive]! Sending all members of your family my very best wishes.

Ahh....and back to the central issue that just won't blankety-blank go away. Annika and Tigerlily both have unexplained bleeds, post-tx, over and over and over again. So, if little ol' me knows of two cases, there must be more. and why??? maybe you two families can team up and all your docs can compare notes. There HAS to be an explanation.Glad you had a little break, at least. Thank goodness for small favors....Hugs,Amanda

I cannot tell you how bad I feel that you are back in hospital with a bleed (of all things!!!). It should not be happening. Don't you think that the varices that were still noticeable could still have caused this if it is still a smaller bleed. I hope to goodness it hasn't worsened since your post and that they have Annika's fever under control. Thinking of you as always, gosh you barely had time to catch up on your sleep. Take care,
