Liam had a good nights sleep last night, it made a big difference not being woken every 2 hours to be poked and proded. We were woken early (well 7.30) so the nurses could take the dressing off his leg to enable the Doctors to have a good look at it. The scar is an absolute […]
The rest of yesterday passed quietly, Jasper and the girls came in around 5.30 and they started playing cards with Liam. We popped him in his wheelchair and went down to the patients lounge for the evening where we sat and watched the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was getting quite late by […]
Liam has had a really good day today, he has been busy beating me at a game he was given by his cousin Jack called Mancala. There is a bit of strategy involved and I’ll put him beating me down to me being preoccupied! Liam’s friend Keenan came to visit this morning which cheered him […]
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 […]
Liam is still very sore and very swollen today. His right eye is swollen shut which is making playing the nintendo a bit difficult. He is being poked, prodded and the site checked every hour, which can get a bit annoying. The plastics nurses are teaching the paediatric nurses how to do they checks as they […]
Liam spent the night in the ICU after his huge day yesterday. He was kept mildly sedated overnight, but every now and then he would sit bolt upright and want to get up. He had a good night and was monitored closely and had good blood flow to the site. I sat with him until about […]
The day finally arived and we got up at 5am to get to the hospital by 6.15. Liam was great although not to keen on getting out of bed – as if we were either! He went into surgery at about 8am surrounded by some of the best surgeons in the country. He was wrapped […]
I had to go and pick Liam up from school this morning and take him back down for further blood tests as they forgot to do one of them yesterday. I was not very impressed and Liam to say the least was not happy. He got through it though and then was most put out when […]
The above picture is of Liam’s memory quilt which was made lovingly by his Aunty Vickie and is made from all of Matt’s clothing. What an incredibly special and precious gift, Victoria has put in so much work and the words thank you seem so inadequate. It is difficult to find the right words to say how […]
Oh dear, not the result we were looking for all dressed up to the nines in our Hurricanes gear. Nevermind of course there is always next year. Can’t see those Crusaders doing as well next year without their beloved Robbie – time will tell! Liam had a great day yesterday, went to his friend Keenans […]
