Monday, 5 October 2009 - Day +56

Eight weeks since transplant, nine weeks in hospital and 10 weeks from home - not that we are counting. Big surprise for Drew today, Daddy and his 2 well brothers came back down today with Quincy. Drew was really happy to see him and it lifted his spirits up - although when we got back to the room, just before the rain came tumbling down, it had exhausted him so much he slept for 3 hours. He did seem brighter when he woke up at 7.30pm than he had been for a few days. Temperatures still in the 36s, NG feeds going well, tube sticking to the side of his face is a problem though, sampling cannula (blood) on its last legs. Kyle ended up back in Emergency again tonight with stomach cramps, Mum not convinced with the eventual diagnosis, must have spent too much time around hospitals, think I'm a doctor now. Hello John Hunter thanks for checking up on Drew, hope Di's got those bravery beads well stocked for when he comes back.
