LIAM'S JOURNEY

Liam was in good humour overnight, giving Jasper a bit of grief everytime he snored!  Jasper had been relegated to the toilet, (had pushed the chair back into the toilet room) and looked very amusing I must admit.  He terrified one of the nurses who didn’t see him in the chair in the middle of the night and when he asked is everything ok, the nurse nearly jumped out of her skin!

Liam hasn’t been feeling too flash this morning, I don’t think he liked the liquid food that they are giving him and decided to power chuck it all up.  I was sitting beside him and the paper I was reading went flying, the table went flying, I went flying and he managed to get it everywhere but on me, what a good boy.  Unfortunately he dislodged his nasal gastric tube in the process so had to get a new one put in, but he was absolutely amazing.  He didn’t want to get it done but he was so strong and let them do it, and for being so awesome the Doctor gave him a much appreciated lemonade iceblock.  He was fantastic and the Doctors said there were a lot of adults who performed and wouldn’t let them do it.  We then went for a spin in the wheelchair down for an xray to ensure that the tube was in the correct place. (it was perfect)

He also had the drain taken out of his neck and we have kept that as a bit of a souvenir, very impressive.  He is still very sleepy and they are just getting his feeds sorted again, but is in no pain, just not quite ready to play a game of rugby yet.

He had his cousins and grandparents come visit today, but we kept things pretty quiet because he is so tired.  With a bit of luck he will feel abit better tomorrow.

Thats all for now, I suppose I should end by saying go the Crusaders (no matter how much it pains me to) cause I’d rather see them win than some Aussies!

Becs, Jasper and Liam the even bigger legend.
