Home Sweet Home!

This morning Brody did not feel at all well, he would not even eat his favourite foods. We had a lot of nurses and young doctors come in to visit us, to see how he was and to see if he would be ok to go home. We also spoke to the people that are going to begin the search for a donor. They will first search babies cord blood, then Australian Adults and then if no matches they will search overseas. This process may take months to find a match, so thats why they have to start straight away.
We sat around waiting and waiting to find out if we could go home. They finally said yes, but by the time we collected injections, meds, did paper work and book our next visit, we got out at 1.30pm.
The nurses unpluged Brody from his machine, and that was it he just run off down the hall and out the ward, we me running after him. He become so active and hypo, you wont have thought it was the same child from this morning. After several runs through the wards, grandma and Luke come to pick us up. Brody again was so excited as his cousins Domenic and Ethan were at grandmas to say hello and goodbye to Luke. He had a fun time with them, it was good to see him laughing and beening a child again.
I gave brody his injection in the leg and his daily tablets before the busy boy went straight to sleep. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
