Hi all

Today we was Wednesday which to us means clinic day. We were a little slow getting to the hospital due to the parking and because I was a little tired as last night my beautiful friend Brooke took me to see the gorgeous "Pete Murray" in concert. Before we arrived at the hospital we also took a detour and went to give the lovely ladies at Camp Quality a card we had made to thank them for their mammoth effort in organising all that was needed for our trip to Melbourne.

Then we finally got to the clinic at about 10am, then off to bloods we went to get checked out, all was good in that court. We then asked to see a doctor as Immie, when she finished chemo last Friday was found to have a nasty infection in her port (yeah another one). My poor mum did chemo with Immie last Friday, and really got the rough end of the deal, the longest chemo of the week, port infection and missing needle to bring her immune system up again needed by Home nurses the next day.

Anyway the antibiotics Immie has been on don't seem to be making a lot of difference, we got into see the doctor at about 12.30. This lead for the need to contact the microbiologist who then prescribed another antibiotic (yeah we have all the penicillin that Australia is low on Margaret!!) and cream as yeah, the swab the took on Friday grew some thing funky!!!. So we are hoping like anything that all of the above works as if it does not Immie will have to check into the lovely PMH Hotel on Friday...ARGH!!.

Anyway we got to leave the hospital at 2.15pm.....though on a plus we were entertained by the fantastic Louise (music therapist) and Beth (OT) and boy did we entertain anyone leave or coming to 3b with the drum, as we played it in the hall way outside 3b...hahaha Immie was busy showing every one she is alive, fighting hard and more nosier then ever..We love it!!!.

Lots of Love and Hugs
