Dr says....

Hi guys

thanks will, chad and nick for writing on my blog...u guys rock! I hope you all get out of hospital really soon...we think about you heaps...
looks like everything is in working order, although im still pretty grouchy (and hands-on)...mum had a good chat with dr steve who said that all the bloods and stuff have come back really good...my platelets are like...200 or something! How awesome is that...
we had an angel flight again today...geez those guys do an awesome job..we left at 8.30am and were back at home by 4.30pm (thanks to donna who picked us up from bairnsdale coz the weather was a bit yukky!)...so yukky that i puked a couple of times!
so thanks a MILLION to angelflight...we just cant believe the generosity of these people...to help families like ours. It feels so nice to be in my own bed again thats for sure!
Nurse Aimee rang tonite and said that one of my anti-rejection drugs was a bit high (the one that gives me my wicked eyebrows!) so to start lowering it. Its pretty exciting but nerve-racking in a way because it means that all the drugs are slowly being weaned, which is really cool, but i know mum gets nervous coz i can still pick up stuff...
its a catch22 as mum would say!
the only other goss is that some of my other drugs are also being reduced too. I have been off my grub for a bit and ended up losing about 700g in a week! pretty big, but i briefly saw DR Karin who said that i was looking really good and had lost all of my weight. She didnt seem to worried, she reckons i had a fair bit to lose!
We have just had the best weekend ever! dad and me have done soooo much stuff! i helped him around the house, he has walked me heaps to give mum a bit of a rest...we all went out to the farm and visited the cows (that was so way cool, although because it is so dry down here at the moment, mum and dad have to sell a few - including tom piper!)...but they reckon we will hold onto moowhistle and stevo for a bit longer and we are hoping that moowhistle will get pregnant again soon...but stevo is getting toooooo big so mum and dad said that he has to get the 'snip' soon - dunno what that means :-) then we will fatten him up and get rid of him too...dad reckons we should invest in some shares (he says that with a giggle!)
i also got to the beach for the very first time...it was glorious, although i was quite taken by the fact that i could rub cheese into mums hair!
ahhh...the simple things in life are often the best!
anyhooo...best fly, its almost feeding time at the zoo and mum is nagging me to put the nappy in the bin. (she appears oblivious to the fact that i am completely immobile unless i am on her hip!)
luv to all

mum says that she will put some piccies up really soon...we have been FLAT out like blue-bum flies!
