Well after a few good months Rachel has just set off back to A and E. Her neutrophil levels have been fluctuating between 0.2 and 0.36 but she has had a cold for a couple of days and today neutrophils are down to 0.16 and CRP up to 84 which is a sure sign she has another infection. I couldn't even take her to hospital since I have to look after the kids. I'm so depressed right now and this is the only place I can vent my feelings. We don't want to live the rest of our lives like this with a simple cold landing her in hospital for antibiotics.

Maybe they will send her home with a big dose of oral antibiotics but my feeling is that it would be best to get her on IV antibiotics as quickly as possible to stop this infection spreading.
