Ok, from now on I will not tell you all we are having a calm, normal day until midnight strikes! At 8:30 last night we discovered blood in Emma's wee. We had been warned this could happen but nevertheless we were really frightened. I rang the ward and they wanted her in. So over we tootled in Grandmas wheelchair (I almost feel she is with us when we use it) and were sent to x-ray. The thought was the stent- which is a tube going to her bladder had changed place and made her bleed. Unfortunately there wasnt a before and after x-ray to compare its position to though. We then had to wait for the magic cream to work before bloods could be taken. Anyway we finally heard the kidney function results were ok at 12:30am. We were allowed back to the Italian Wing but had to be back at 9:30 in the morning. They were considering taking the stent out during the Tuesday surgery time which would only be 2 weeks rather than the 6 weeks they normally keep it in. anyway.... Todays results show the kidney is still working well- thank goodness and they are going to observe the bleeding. Its been a horrible day waiting for the results. I think Greg for the first time really sensed our worry and announced he was going back to Ruffs Furze tomorrow! Meggie then burst into tears as she wanted to stay. Anyway he has now changed his mind and is staying!
Hope you like the photo- Greg, Meggie and our new flat mate Benjamin bear playing on the Wii! Jackie and Jon Ross (Jon being the fantastic marathon runner who raised lots of money with us for Victoria Ward last April) popped in to see us this morning and gave him to the children. Thank you!
Until tomorrow.....

Eeeek, am guessing this is just the way that things are after transplants, lots of tests and waiting for results and trying not to lose the plot whilst supervising wii games, admiring new records on said wii games, finding fuffers and doing all the other family stuff... ( let alone put up with all the inane texts you get from me ) ..

hello gorgeous Beedens. sorry it's been a while. we have been running an experiment. how long does it take if you shut 3 grandparents in a house with 6 children (8 and under) with lots of toys and chocolate before they wave the white flag and come crawling out on their hands and knees!!!
ReplyDeleteParticularly when Father Christmas leaves 2 guitars, drumsticks and a noise box that makes farting and burping noises!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat an awful time for you especially when everything was going so well. Fingers crossed results will be better and more stable today. Emma you are such a brave young lady. Hope that Greg and Meggie are a bit happier - must be a very difficult time for them too. Bless you all.
Love Jill
