Mrs Issels has been on the phone several times to see how Caroline is and ask her if she would be filmed for the website. It's wonderful confirmation that they see her as a success story, but unfortunately in the last few days she has had what appears to be a minor virus, which at the moment is affecting her eyes, which are sore and feel gritty. Hopefully it will be gone by Monday, when the video is being shot, as she won't want to be filmed looking less than her best. I've got to blow dry her hair tomorrow, no pressure...................
She had two blood treatments today, the blood taken yesterday which had been activated with interleuken 2 and then a UV treatment of some blood which was put staight back in. The interleuken has left her feeling ropey, and has made the eye problem worse. Apparently all to be expected, but uncomfortable.
There was a shopping trip to a mall today, which I didn't go on, but I've signed up for the artisan's market tomorrow afternoon. Caroline won't come, but there should be some patients as well as companions, the Oasis of Hope patients don't seem to have any treatment at the weekend. The hospital is very quiet, the other patients we have met so far have been American, Canadian, and Australian, with the odd Italian and Nigerian.
