Excellent results at the hospital today, Ava's platelets have jumped to 80,000 independent of any transfusion. Her neutrophils were steady at 1300 and we were assured that they can fluctuate at around this level for some time. As long as we continue to take adequate precautions regarding bacteria and infection - her normal level is about 3000 - this is still deemed safe. As Monday is a bank holiday in Italy and we don't need to be back at the hospital until Tuesday, we travelled back into town to the Bulgari for our last few days with Ava's Daddy and Angelina. Look who was waiting for them in their room! This enormous bear came with a note saying that her name was 'Winnie' and that she lives on Pixie Island. No prizes for guessing where the girls spent the rest of the afternoon...
