9 months in 26 November 2024

Hey everyone, a little update on our wee girl.

Quinn has had a really challenging past few months as we now reach 9 months into this journey.

In October, Quinn got to take her first ambulance ride after spiking a fever of 40.4°c and ending up in Paediatric Intensive Care with Sepsis. We were extremely fortunate that she bounced back after 10 days in Starship.

We are currently at back at Starship having been rushed to ED 13 days ago with fevers. She is currently stable but her blood counts are so low that we are in protective isolation as she has no ability to fight any infection or virus she may pick up. It's an incredibly hard time with both Mum and Dad having to stay at hospital and be off work to ensure she's cared for while here at hospital.

In between hospital stays she's been receiving her standard Chemotherapy and all of the challenges that come with it. Her hair fallen out again and she has been wiped by all the medication with lots of nausea, pain and skin rashes. Yet, as always, she has taken it all in her stride and shows us how incredibly resilient and inspiring she can be. Her smile and personality has never wavered and we couldn't be more proud of her!!

As always we are eternally grateful for the way our people have held our whānau. Without you we would not be where we are. Love you 🩷
