Day 3 & amp;4 – the weekend

August 1st, 2010

After 11 hours sleep, we got up all refreshed Saturday morning. We managed to come out into the common area and meet Graham (from the UK) who kindly invited us to lunch, with some of the other families on the ward, to the Holiday Inn. What a hard walk that was?!!!!! The heat & humidity over here is unbelievable!!! The sweat was dripping of us by the time we got there (about a 20min) walk. However, it was nice to get out of the hospital and talk to some of the other families.
When we got back to the hospital Keiran was taken to have his x-ray & ECG. After he had his ECG it looked like he had 9 nipples (from the marks that were left behind from the suckers).
Went and got some supplies from the Lotte Mart – nothing was in the same place, so it made it a little difficult to find what we needed but we managed.
Sat in the middle area with some of the families and played a game of cards called ‘Pounce’. It is a lethal game and when played with 8 people can be quite brutal lol!

Today Keiran didn’t wake up until just before 10am, so we had a slow mooch. After lunch we headed over to the Lotte Mart to find the stuff we couldn’t find yesterday LOL. Spoke to the family back home & watched Georgia eat a sausage & bacon sarnie!!!! So not fair!!!!!
Keiran and I made a chicken curry with the hope that it would taste nice – as we had no idea what curry mix we’d brought. It turned out ok – Keiran even had 2 helpings

Tomorrow morning we will have more of an idea of a schedule as Forrest is due to see Keiran. Keiran is due to receive his 1st stemcells tomorrow via IV at 2pm (7am back home). I think it’s safe to say that I’ll be pleased when tomorrow’s ended but not look forward to Friday.

Much love to you all
Hayley & Keiran
