A few photos of Starship life






This is Aunty Rachel, posting some photos from the hospital. Meg and cousin Reilly made a little "car" out of a cardboard box. We put a pillow in it and Guy can ride around the ward in style. When he is not hooked up to a drip, one of Guy's favourite pastimes is being taken for ride in the stroller, or taking his "Zeb" (toy zebra) for a ride in the toy stroller, up and down the corridor. He loved doing this with cousins Harriet, Ollie and Will last week. When he is restricted to the bed, blowing bubbles is a great distraction and batting the Eeyore balloon Aunty Noos gave him is also a fave. Guy also has a portable DVD, which he likes to watch with Meg sitting beside him (I think any new DVDs on loan would be appreciated by parents a bit sick of "Love to Sing" !!!). Mummy or daddy can also sometimes take Guy for a little walk pushing the drip machine with them. Like the photo where Bevan is blowing raspberries for Guy, we have seen him smiling and giggling quite a lot - he especially enjoyed waving out the window to Aunty George and Uncle Nick when they left the ward at night last week. He has always been a smiley, cheeky baby and his cruisey, flirty nature belies his current heart rate of 140-150bpm (it should be about 90 and it will get back there.)Big e-cuddles to Tess, Bevan, Megapixel and "Babbee Guyah" (Will's name for him) and thanks to everyone for keeping the support up from around the country and the world.
