Hi there
The morning was a normal wake up morning for Immie, a little grumpy, as her sleep had been interrupted several times by wees, bright lights when doors are opened (constantly) and a bad dream at 4 am about Daddy and Kody, she was very sad. Though no temps and no throwing up, Hurray!!!. She awoke also with a tummy ache and had a bolus of morphine, then slept for ages the little beautiful babe.
Woke up again feeling a bit yuck, but then we had a few window visitors (as they only looked through the door) and more specials from a lovely lil girl Mia and her mum Trina, who had arrived for leukaemia clinic. Then Im perked up, and did playing with Aunty Livi, and crafting with me and Mum, we crafted for ages, made bees out of pompoms and sticks and balloon people (thanks Mia and Trina). Then we hung the paper cranes that Nurse Romina made us around the room. Then time for rest with Playschool and afternoon ABC Kids.
All is well in Immies medical world; with talk that if she keeps tracking well we will be home next week. They will begin to stop/ slow down the antibiotics, and other drugs, though still are trying to get a rein on Immies potassium and phosphate levels (very normal after mega therapy). The morphine will begin to be turned down, and the TPN feeds cut back, and the NG tube feeds will pick up the slack. Immie is still very sore in her mouth and tummy and can’t swallow anything....so it’s just waiting and seeing...
Tonight I am going home for a lovely rest, I CAN’T WAIT!!!, and then Sunday Mum, me and Livi are hitting the Subiaco Craft Fair and another one too.

“Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future”
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.”
