I want to start off by saying Happy new year to you all! (even though we are a month into 2017 all ready..)
I hope you all have had a lovely start to the year.
Anyway an update on my health.. To be honest I've been keeping quite well, I had a slight down side a few weeks ago, but the hospital gave me some antibiotics and I'm now currently on IVs for 2 weeks (one week left to go). So I'm feeling a lot better already. Starting my IVs was pretty strange this time as we are pretty sure that it will be my last course whilst under paediatrics! My out reach nurse who i have seen all the time from being just 8 years old put my gripper needle in and we were just chatting about the transition to the adult side of CF!
What else would a cheerleader do in the hospital? |
( Fibroscan uses elastography, which is a technique similar to ultrasound, that measures the stiffness of your liver. It is a non-invasive, painless alternative to a liver biopsy)
The results for this scan come back pretty much straight away and it just confirmed that I do have Cirrhosis due to my Cystic Fibrosis related Liver Disease.
Lots of love,
Emily xo
