Day +56

Good news from the hospital today, Ava's platelets had increased by 4,000. It doesn't sound much, but this is very significant, as it is the first time they have climbed without a transfusion, which shows that Ava's body has begun producing her own platelets, rather than relying on them being given to her. This is a big indicator that her body is getting back to normal after such intensive treatment. We didn't have time to go to feed the ducks today, but nevertheless it seems the two mallards from the lake came looking for Ava as they appeared in the hospital fountain! Tonight we are looking forward to Daddy and Angelina arriving tomorrow for half term. Speaking of school, we must say a huge thank you to all of the girls who entered the Francis Holland Chelsea Flower Show. Over £400 pounds was raised for Archangel, which is really fantastic and much appreciated .
