3rd Dec – VEP Test – 5 days to Go!!!
December 4th, 2009
Today Keiran had his morning therapies with Forest; Electric Wave Therapy, Accupuncture & Ear Point. Keiran sat on the bed & played dominoes with Keith as I still don’t want to get too close to him for too long (which is killing me).
The Dr visited in the morning and explained that we would be going downtown to the Eye Hospital around 12.30pm for another VEP test. Cliff (a company driver) took us & another family into downtown. This gave us a good opportunity to speak with Shane & his parents. They arrived in Qingdao 3 days ago & have only just recovered from their flights. Shane sounds like an amazing man…..He has come for treatment for his optic nerves too. He suffered with a heartattack 2 yrs ago & as a result of a needle being injected in his arm it caused a bleed for 11hours; his optic nerves damaged & lost his sight & has limited use of his right arm. We will chat to him some more I’m sure.
After 2 hours of waiting in the hospital (which was not pleasant one little bit) Keiran went in to have the test. Once again, it was the same drill………..he’s got a bald patch on the back of his head again – so I’ll really need to get his hair cut when he gets home! We will get the results of the test tomorrow.
Came back to the hospital & got ready to go over to the shopping mall with Lucy (translator who’s been really nice to us) as she’d mentioned about going on the rollercoaster with Keiran. Well, what can I say………..what a whimp she is!!!! Bless her cotton socks she didn’t want to go on anything, she said that it makes her sick. After a few minutes of trying to convince Lucy, she was not having any of it. Although, I think she enjoyed watching Keiran & I being thrown around of them. We all met up with Forest at a Korean restaurant. It was a lovely meal with great company! Lucy & Forest told us their chinese names & meanings. Their names are so pretty & have such fantastic meaning. Forest explained that he chose his name because of the film ‘Forest Gump’ which we laughed & explained that that is what we automatically thought of.
Tomorrow is Keiran’s last treatment via Lumbar. I’m still as nervous as the first one BUT knowing this is the last one makes me feel a little better.
Love to all

Cannot believe Keiiran has finished all his treatments………he has been such a star bless him………. so proud of him.
Can’t wait to hear all about your journey/adventure/experience in person, although will prob be New Year when we next see you, but will def phone you for all the details when you have settled back home again.
Dare say you can’t wait to get back and get back into your day-to-day routine and hug the girls until they can’t breathe properly.
So proud of everything you have all done while you have been there and loved reading your updates every day.
Hopefully chat at the weekend if we are both on at the same time.
Roll on next week – goodbye needles for Keiran and well done babe you are so fantastic and brave
Luv Auntie Jo xXx
