Hi Lovies
Today we had checkup clinic, I was a little anxious to see what Immie weight and counts had been doing over the last four days. We rocked up at 9.20am, got sent to blood bank, then back to the ward because she need more blood then they could access via her finger prick.
After the lovely Nurse Shirley (aka International Dora) took our blood, we waited and waited and waited, while everyone was getting a little anxious as it was taking so very long. Finally at 11.45 the results came back great!!!...Red cells - 95 Neurophilis - 0.87 (normal as they will keep fluctuating for a while) and platelets - 57, no need for any transfusions woo hoo. Immies weight had dropped a little 15.65kg on discharge - 15.55kg today. Immies potassium levels are getting better 4.5, though we still need to take the lovely orange tablets for a bit longer. After a lovely stool sample collection....yay...we got to go home about 12pm for a return visit scheduled for Thursday.
Went via Granmas and had a ng feed, then went to the shops to secure the Playdoh ice cream maker that Immie has wanted as a reward for taking the orange tablets (potassium) and not scowling at everyone (well mostly not everyone, Sorry Louise) at the hospital. Immie was really unimpressed about having to go there again (the hospital that is).
We could not find the playdoh item, and started looking at the costumes...and Im decided she wanted one of them instead and guess which one she picked out of all the cartoon characters.... a nurse costume....hey they can't have had that bad of an impression on her.
Hurray for nurses!!!
Had a relaxing weekend at home, our last with Livi before she returned to Kalgoorlie. Kody'school play tommorow wish him luck, hope this reaches you all beautiful and well xx
