Happy Christmas Everyone!
Very happy to report that Santa found us in our Italian Wing! The kids were up at 6 and presents were unwrapped by about quarter past.
We had breakfast and then went over to Victoria Ward for Emma's daily bloods. More presents had been left from Santa for all 3 children in the Ward. Greg was particularly happy to unwrap a star wars millenium falcon!
At 12 we wandered back over to GOSH for our Christmas dinner courtesy of the canteen. And it was really quite nice! I eagerly asked for carrots, parsnips and sprouts and was firmly told I could only have 2! Luckily my non-vegetable eating family let me have theres!! Then after a yule log pudding we were all ready to go back to our flat when we got a phone call from the ward asking us to go back. Our hearts sank as it really had been feeling quite a normal day up till then. Anyway Al took Meg and Greg back and I went up to the ward with Emma. They had found she had a high level of potassium which would need immediate treatment. But they wanted to check her bloods again as it had only been a finger prick test that morning. So magic cream on, hour wait, attached to heart monitor and then proper blood test. And the result was..... potassium fine. Oh my goodness!! Bit of a shame this happened but just shows how amazingly vigilant they are. Back again in the morning at 8:30.
The rest of the day was apparently spent playing with toys- I was fast asleep on the sofa!! Now all enjoying playing games and watching some Christmas Tele!
Hope you all had a lovely day,
Much love from us all.
Fab photos , and loving the moustache Greg..!
ReplyDeletethose plates look pretty good to me, very full , apart from Al and the lack of veggies...
Such a shame to have a jolt back to reality with the blood levels but like you say, they are keeping such a close eye on things its strangely reassuring.
And how did they know that that would be a good dvd for you miss Emma? Impressive. And how curious you fell asleep on the sofa, again....
Good christmas here, ate too much, still cant see much of the floor , result
Sleep well

Glad you had a good day and that Santa managed with the change of address! He is a clever chap.
ReplyDeleteIts good to hear that they are keeping a close eye on Emma but what a worrying afternoon for you all.
Hope the festivities and progress continue.

Hi Happy Boxing Day.
ReplyDeleteOurs is only just starting while yours is half over. Yesterday must have shaken your faith in Santa and given you wobbly moments, glad they were all unfounded and gone for the now. If we could all take them away for you for good believe us all we would.
Here on the other side of the pond they have no boxing day so work and life goes on as usual. A sorry state, how can a nation cope without that glorious period between christmas and new year where all days pass in a haze. Hope your hazy days are filled with more fun and family squabbles too.. Enjoy
Love Sue and Dave
