Drew has enjoyed a bit of time at the cricket nets, cricket in the backyard, playing the play station this week. The hospital visit went pretty well on Wednesday, we'd been 'practising' all week and he was confident, but came unstuck just at the crucial moment. The blood collector was very good and told him she'd been doing this for 36 years, probably longer than Mummy had been alive (er not quite). She showed him the needles (which I wasn't sure was a good strategy at the time), but he pulled himself together and it was over and done with in 10 minutes. Drew was very relieved and proud of himself, and I was just glad it was over for another week. As Drew had been feeling a little sick in the mornings, the Doctors put his steroids back up to 7.5grams a day. All has been good since, so maybe he will be on them a bit longer than planned, which means he also has to wait for his prawns, much to his dismay. On Thursday one of Drew's good friends from kindergarten, Joseph came over to play, they always have a good time together. Friday night we went to the beach, Drew's first time since before his transplant, he just laid in the sand at first and splayed his arms and legs, before getting into 'World Cup Beach Soccer' with his brothers. All in all a good week, lets hope its topped off by the Mariners winning tomorrow night. Until next week :0).
