Sunday 10/01/10 - Saturday 16/01/10

It was so normal a week it was scary. Drew went up to John Hunter on Wednesday and had his blood taken, by Sandy again, without any drama. We still did breathing and he listened to his ipod and didn't look at the needle. He was so excited and proud of himself when it was done and I was relieved. We saw Dr Frank, who was back from holidays and he reduced Drew's steroids back to 5mg and we haven't had any problems so far. Frank asked Drew what he got for Christmas and Drew replied 'not prawns!' We don't go back to the hospital now for 12 days, our longest stint away in quite a while, at least 6 months - Drew was excited about that too. His learning assessment came back and he did very well, Drew has kept up with the kids in his year, although he is a bit apprehensive about returning to school, which is quickly approaching. It will be like sending him off to kindergarten all over again - hopefully I won't cry till I get home. Fingers crossed all stays well this week.
