a present from Blake and Kai
Today, 4th of July we saw Cherrie and Blake, as they had come to the hospital for his regular check up. I wish I had taken a picture as he looks like a big boy now, with his spikey hair..too cute. Their check up went smoothly and they soon were on their way back home again. Cherrie bought me a present for my birthday, so as a yearly tradition Immie had to have one too. Thanks Cherrie for being a great friend xx
It is that exciting that the present tried to eat Immie
a matching wiggles game, what a great idea, ta Cherrie

Hi all
Well we came home Friday after a visit to the PMH Hotel, from Tuesday night at about 8 pm with a very red and unhappy looking area surrounding Immies port (a device insert under the skin to receive the chemo through). In jas and Immie went to see what they thought before the dreaded temperature crept up.
I then receive the call about 9.30pm that Immie was going to have to stay in, so in went me and kods to swap over from Jas (very late night for Kods). Restless night then the temp at midnight, 38.5. Two day stay this means, so they can have time to look at the blood cultures. As Immies port was looking dodgy, canula inserted which spent most of the time sending the machines crazy by blocking or cutting off all the time - argh!!.
By Wednesday the vein with the canula collapsed, and then due to Immie screaming the place down it took a long time to find another. In the end, one was placed in her right hand (her main hand - argh).
Friday came and we were given the all clear to needle the port and go home on continuous antibiotics (through this nifty machine) Anyway we are home now, Immie is loving being out of that crazy isolated room (she spent a lot of time banging on the window to any one who would look at her). She must carry a bag around 24 hours a day carrying her IV antibiotics, and every day we have HITH (hospital in the home) come out and change it over, though very exciting I am being promote to this job as of tomorrow - woo hoo!!. I think we would all be a little stir crazy if we had to hang around waiting for the nurse to come all this week, especially seeing its school holidays.
Now we have the clinic appt on Wednesday to check up, and this week is the last of my 20's, oooooo...yes I enter the 30's on Friday..I know a few of you will be thinking.. FINALLY, as most of you are sooooo old already!!! hahahahahaha...sorry Have a great school hols, if thats your thing, or a great week if its not!!!
Love, Hugs and KissesJason ,Fiona, Kods and Immie Holmes
