Hi all
What a weekend...busy busy...We went to the Ward 3b Fun and Fashion Parade on Saturday to watch the fabulous Nicole. It was great, it was so fantastic to see everyone in a relaxed setting. Imogen was lovely to all, which is a vast change to how she has been while in hospital and for clinic visits. It's great that they got to see the lovely, smiley and cheeky Immie that we are lucky to have at home.
Nicole did a great job at modeling her clothes, and looking super cute. While we were watching her Immie decided that she to would like to have a go. We explained to her that only some kids who had done rehearsal and practised could do the parade and maybe she could next year. We never in a million years dared to dream just 26 days after stem cell rescue, that she would want to, or even be well enough to participate.
In the intermission we went to see all our beautiful fabulous nurses, and Immie told Nurse Lizzie that she would like to have a go at walking on the catwalk. Before we knew it Immie was on the list to go in the catwalk, walking with Nurse Joe and Daisy. After a long break and much fun running up and down the catwalk with the kids, Imogen went back stage.
Nicole came first in her beautiful dress, then Immie with one of her all time favourite nurses (that she told me she loves : ), Zac. It was perfect the smile on her face was remarkable. Everyone was surprised she had come out, they all keep saying but didn't she just have a stem cell rescue, not long ago. We were very proud.
Then Immie disappeared for a while, Nicole came back, but no Immie. Then the second last lot of pairs of models came out for their grand finale, there was Immie with Karla (her much loved play therapist) and Karla's son Lachlan.
The last models to come out were the beautiful Nurse Meghan and Nurse Julie dressed as brides, stunning, as they are both getting married this year. Then last but not least Carol (Play therapist) came out in a dress, purely made from hospital supplies (noice!!!).
Immie did not want to go home, or even stop modelling though at 8.30 it was time to depart, to the nearest take away for some yummy food.
We are so glad Immie was well enough to attend, it was incredible, we hope it made a lot of money for the ward.
On Sunday morning Immie and I went to the convention centre for a magician show, we arrived and got a seat. Then after being there for about 3 minutes, Immie managed to get her finger stuck in the chair (the same as Nicole did when we went to Dora the Explorer). Imogen got so upset that she chucked up, all over me and herself. Yummy, chucked up pediasure. She still wanted to stay, so we went back to the car to get changed. Back in to watch the magician show, which was pretty good. Then back to the car park to get fleeced for parking argh!!! $9.50 for 2 hours!!!.
Yesterday we picked a very tired Kods up from Subiaco - Camp Quality, he had a blast on camp to Dongara and got to do a lot of wicked stuff. The best thing he said was the circus. When asked whether he missed me, he replied nah I didn't miss anyone...how rude....: P...I was having too good a time. Very happy that he enjoyed himself so much.
Took Immie to kindy the morning to just do a puzzle and introduce her slowly to Kindy again. Well, now here I sit at home at 11am by myself!!!!. Imogen decided she wanted to stay till lunch time. I was very shocked, especially seeing both the teacher and aid are still not back from sick leave. I will go pick her up at lunch, as she needs a ng tube feed. She is so amazing, she loves throwing you off your feet sometimes, just when you think you know what she is going to do Princess Imogen surprises you.
Must go enjoy my cuppa and magazine
