Leaving Struggle Town

Just a quick post this time as I'm over tired and need some sleep . Yesterday was a VERY trying day and a doctor had said that if Joanie didn't breast feed by 5pm they would put the NG tube back in (can't remember if I wrote that she pulled this out previously and we were advised it would only be re-inserted as a last resort as its a procedure they try not to do to babies unless absolutely necessary)

 

Anyway Shaun and I had that possible procedure hanging over our heads all day and felt very anxious about it.. Jb was very unsettled all day thrashing around and uncomfortable from her severe head swelling. In a very fashionable manner Joanie leaved it to the last minute ( 4.50pm) Joanie took her first suck and breast fed. Three days ( not including operation day) is the longest she's ever gone without drinking milk. Mum aka Ju Ju also witnessed this and I cried with relief when she turned this corner. Also Joanie's eyes have opened! Only partially but such a relief to see her blue peepers shining through!

 

For those who asked if I saw any Telethon stars sorry I only recognised Kochie , bloody HUGE he was towering over this poor sick kid in bed , he's a nice bloke though and so are all those stars who gave their time! Also a big thankyou to those family and friends who have told me they have got on the Telethon Ban Wagon in tribute to Jb and all the kiddies who are requiring  the wonderful medical services provided by staff at PMH. As I've said before this money is VERY necessary to further develop medical treatments for our Kiddies and the Old Girl PMH just can't cope as well these days so all donations are highly beneficial.

 

Not such a short post after all, hope everyone is having a restful Sunday !
