Long Day

Yesterday was a long day at hospital with Caleb. Another round of botox with the addition of injections in his right arm - his thumb and between his elbow and wrist. He behaved really well and 'performed' for all the therapists and doctors as they poked and played and prodded and twisted and felt and played and videotaped and talked and played. We waited for the different appointments, waited to get into the day procedure ward for our bed, waited for our slot on the injecting list and waited for the hour afterwards (for food, drink and observations).

Did I mention we all had to fast - can't eat in front of Caleb when he is hungry and cannot satisfy his hungry little belly. Straight into the parents lounge for cup of tea and some tucker when he was in theatre - need some strength before I pass out.

On the way home we picked up Zali who was tired (stroppy) as her kindy week ended. Griffy was tired due to his little naps (cause he kept getting disturbed from loud noises everywhere). He also pooed all day. I ran out of nappies. Thankfully the last nasty-filled nappy happened just before some friends headed home - we had ward beds next to each other - thanks Angie for giving us a nappy! He pooed in this borrowed-and-large nappy in the car and had another change as soon as we walked in the door. Honestly.

Everyone was knackered. I fell asleep watching TV.

The best part about being woken at 4.40am this morning (need to look for positives!!), it was actually cool. Love the cool, don't love the heat.

Enjoy your weekend!
