Hi all
Arrived to the hospital today and the parking gods had saved us a car park. Wandered down to the PMH resort, were they weren't ready for us all they had spent the morning shuffling patients. This was to allow us to move into Room 16 as this room is the only room on the ward with a connecting parent room - WOO HOO!!!. Two positives already, then just as we were putting our stuff down a ladybird was crawling on my hand, this to us was a very positive omen, as me and Immie wear ladybirds on our necklaces as they are believed to bring good luck (and hey whats the chance of finding one in your hospital room!!). We then went and release it out side near immie's window for more good luck. As they were not ready for us we were then able to go spend more time in the gorgeous sun in the hospital park (another bonus).
A welcomed uneventful afternoon spent time colouring, watching TV, Immie asking when are we going to go home (talk about pulling on the heart strings), getting Kods face painted, playing DS Lite, and talking to the other parents and staff.
Immie was full of beans and just before she went to sleep tonight, she whispered...Tomorrow we go outside for a walk..mmm we will see I said. Over the last week Immie and Kody have practically lived on the trampoline - jumping and making up great stories and actions. It's going to really hurt not just Imogen and Kody to not be running around like crazy together.
For us today was emotional, I had kept waiting all weekend for someone to ring and say " Nah we got it wrong we are not going to do it next week or wait we have found a new way that is less harmful", but no, the call never came. For both of us the struggle of separating us all up again was very hard. So here we are, Day One, hydrating up, and given anti nausea drugs in the morning, then chemo mid morning. Tomorrow I will go home and Jason will stay with our sleeping princess, we will swap all this week while Jas is having time off, after that we will just try to mix it up as much as possible.
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers
Love the Holmes Gang aka Fiona
