And the day continues....We are home!!!


As I was saying before (see below)...we are home again woo hoo!!!!, we just got home again as after her dinner feed Immie chucked her tube up out her mouth - blah!!!!. Luckily when we arrived at the hospital we got the tube inserter master aka Dave, so it was down in 2 mins with no messing around. We got home at about 8.30pm, to a beautiful meal of Salmon and cous cous salad made by lovely Livi.

Anyway the radiation lady, Mandy, is going to organise for us to go to initial met up with the radiation team, and get Immie use to the whole idea, as they want to do it will no sedation or general anesthetic. The whole process takes about 5 mins and does not cause any pain. Imogen will have to do 14 sessions of radiation. Every day for approx 3 weeks, weekends off.

After that Maryanne our oncologist came to see us, Immie gave her a smile and she sorted the potassium levels out, now a tablet and non aversive version. Then said we could go home!!!. It was only when I began removing , the pictures did Immie barriers start to break down, and started talking to Carla about the people in the pictures and were we where when taken. The more pictures and decoration down the better Immie improve, soon she was off the bed getting dressed and putting her shoes on.

My incredible mum, did three trips to the car with all our stuff, and Immie and me went to get her balloon from Penny re pumped and wait for meds ( a nightmare that anyone has spent time in PMH knows). After putting in the script at 10am, the meds were ready after we picked them up at pharmacy at 2pm. Oh then my mum drove us home bliss home.

Now this is where we sit, my beautiful hubbie and me, eating chocolate, drinking wine, and chatting, giggling about today's happenings and no whirling machines....oh I love being home,

Love to all
