Update on Quinn's treatment 25 May 2024

Posted by: Brynn Armstrong

Hi everyone, just a quick update on how things have been going for beautiful little Quinn.

We have reached the end of this phase of treatment with her responding to it all as she should, but with quite a few speed bumps along the way. This phase has been very heavy and meant lots of trips to Staship for theatre for lumbar punctures, chemotherapy, and bone marrow aspirations. She has then had chemotherapy administered by the community nurses at home the following three days and by us every night. All of this is in addition to her myriad of ongoing medications.

Unfortunately, theatre has been tough on her, with ongoing issues to do with her airways closing up while under general anaesthetic. We are super grateful for the amazing Starship team who help get her through these but as you can imagine, it takes a massive toll on her and us.

We are currently staying at Starship at the moment, having been here for the past 9 days, after she developed bad fevers and was rushed to ED. Fortunately she's doing well and we are now just waiting for her white blood cells to recover to a point that she has some immune system before we are allowed home again.

Once again, a massive thank you to everyone for all your incredible support. We are so grateful for everyone who has reached out to us, and incredible generosity through the Give a Little page, which has been life saving with both of us currently not at work while Quinn is staying in hospital.

Love you all heaps 🩷 xx
