Top Marks for Ward 3b

Santa and Immie (more photos at the end)
Hi all

Today I am singing praises for the ward 3b (lalalalala -lol),

we arrived at 9am. Down to the ward, quick and horrible dressing change. Immie has gotten worse with the dressing change there was a time when she was ok, tho now it's an absolute nightmare. Immie screams, wiggles and starts kicking as soon as dressing change is mention. Prior to that Imogen was weighed 15.65kg (tho could be a bit off, as she was screaming about the dressing and jumping on the chair) and height 102.5 cm ( same deal as she was not standing properly).

After the dressing, finger prick, then rush rush as we had to get to Charlies at 11 am. We were able to have a big chat to Rebeca and the gorgeous Alex and then Karla our favourite "Toy Lady".We even got to see a doc - Dr Hodder. Immie was very painful, she wouldn't cooperate with anything, Dr Hodder wanted her to do : (. Finally after the check up was over and the incredible blood counts were read.

Haemoglobin - 112

Platelets - 173

Neurophilis - 2.13


We talked about the Broviac removal, this has been penciled in for the 3rd/ 4th December, cross all your fingers it happens smoothly with no delays.


Then we rushed to Charlies for radiation, with Granma visiting, this is so she will know what happens as she is doing next Wednesday when I go to get my new tooth crown (yuk).

Immie was a star, listened to her playschool cd and then put her sticker on the chart and ran off lol. Too busy to hang around!!!.

From there after the shops we went to Kody's class to listen to his speech on Egyptian Gods. He did a great job, much better then me standing in front of a heap of people. Poor sod, was a bit embarrassed though when my sms tone, went off in the middle of someone's speech. The tone was Immie yelling at top note " I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES" ahhhh only three times lol, parents who'd have them.

I have to share a special moment my gorgeous gift of a daughter shared with me the other day, we arrived at the shops after not going for a while. Imogen eyes opened widely and she exclaimed " Mummy look at all the miracles" for some reason she has decided that's the name for the shops Christmas decorations. This Christmas, take Immie's idea, and look for the "miracles" that you and your family can make, with others and yourselves xx
