Day 19

Ellen is slightly better. She is talking more and even sat up to have a game of 'greedy gorilla' yesterday. She is, however, still on morphine and has a grumbling temperature. If this does not settle over the weekend she will need to have a CT scan to look for a possible fungal chest infection. We are still waiting anxiously for signs of the dreaded VOD, for which we still have a few weeks of the 'high risk' period left.
