Today we had a great day with Guy allowed out of the hospital for the afternoon to come home and hang out with Mum, Dad and Meg. Uncle Nick popped out of work quickly to say hi and see Guy return to chewing green tomatoes off the plant. It was a great day and so lovely to have him back in our normal surroundings. Not to mention having us all together at home for the first time in two weeks.
As you can see he quickly got back to claiming his spot on the kids couch.
Last night Bevan and I, with CD and Matt, went to the VERY LOUD Foo Fighters which was fantastic. I didn't know all the songs, but didn't let that stop me yelling myself hoarse. It was great to do - thank you so much Noos and Moira for babysitting while we were able to get out, the nurses for insisting we did, and CD and Matt for having a great time with us! I slept very well in the hospital, unable to hear the helicopters landing or Guy's sleep talking, for the ringing in my ears.
Guy has started a new drug, dijoxin (phonetic spelling), which is yet another heart contractor, but this one slows the heart as well. They are likely to give him another dose on the drip drug that I can never remember the name of that only lasts a week. So we are still in hospital for at least the next week or so, but hopefully with more, possibly longer, visits home over the next few days.
Cardiologists are also looking closely at my ECG to see if I have something genetic which may have passed to Guy and worsened somehow and be causing the issues.
Heart Children have organised a CPR trainer to come and see us and those likley to be looking after Guy, on Saturday, to give us all a course. There have been recent changes to what is recommended so I urge you all to get up to date :)
Meg checking out that the ECG team have all the leads in the right place...
Guy really needed a bath after 2 days of being sick and stuck to his bed, even he knew it. No idea where he found this, such is his familiarity with the ward.
Cuddles and dancing on the bed with Meg to yet more "Love to Sing"
And yet more walking Zeb
Kia ora Tess!!
