Happy Birthday Jenny!

Thursday April 29th is Jenny’s 24th Birthday.

News Update- Saturday 27th March

ian — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 13:16:15 +0000

On Friday 19th March the doctor halted all the treatment as he was concerned about the bruises that were appearing out of nowhere. He arranged blood tests for the next Tuesday ( 23rd) to check what was going on. The blood platelets were low but now she’s off all the medications they are low but still within the normal range. Unfortunately though, this means she cannot go back on the treatment. Jenny had a telephone consultation with two doctors on speaker phone on Thursday 25th to talk about options and where to go from here. However they were unable to offer anything unless she is able to get to the hospital 3 times a week. Jenny’s condition has worsened so much that this is impossible and would in turn lead to further deterioration. It is with great regret and devastation that we have made the decision that we are going to have to return home. Obviously we are taking the opportunity to review options for Jenny’s medical treatment. We will keep you posted.

Week 3 Friday 12th March – treatment news

Jenny was encouraged by her young Scottish doctor who comes to give her the IM injections. If Jenny does show some improvement, the doctor said, she may be able to restart the infusions on a reduced scale. At present she will continue with her treatment which includes the IM injections, anti-viral and biofilm breakers. Jenny thanks all those who have sent messages and continue to support her.

Week 2- Starting Again

ian — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:34:27 +0000

After consultation with her doctors Jenny is resuming treatment through injections. To save Jenny travelling in, the hospital will administer them at Jenny’s temporary accomodation. This could mean that the treatment period might now be longer than the 12 weeks anticipated. We feel encouraged again after the lows of the last week.

News after Week One

ian — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 08:32:16 +0000

Jenny started treatment fully on Wednesday 24th. However the length of treatment each day for her , ( 6.5 hours of infusions ) the scale of the treatment and the travel each day from her temporary accomodation has led to a considerable worsening in her health. After being ill and bed bound for so long it was something that was feared. The decision was made last night afer consultation with her doctor to halt the infusions and to attempt to move to a modified oral treatment plan. Obviously, Jenny and her family, have been very upset in taking this decision. They would like to thank again everyone for all their support and kindness. We will update you as to the progress of the modified treatment plan and Jenny will continue to stay near the hospital for the forseeable future.
