Just received this e-mail from Nicky's husband:
Dear All,
At last some good news and plenty of it. After a rather bad (understatement!!!) few days last week things are on the change. The unpleasant side effects were, after all, not related to the antibiotics she was on but yet another problem, this however has been resolved with a course steroids with amazing results. After four weeks of not eating she has at last began to eat solid food and more importantly, keep it in!
The lung problem is on the mend, they fitted a chest drain on Monday for 24hrs and drained off over two litres of fluid, no wonder she had trouble breathing! However we still do not know the cause.
The intravenous drugs are reducing and she is now having them as tablets in preparation for coming home. This may be as early as next week (touch wood).
I will keep you posted.
So with any luck she'll be home soon and I can go and visit her.
