Yippeee – A day out from the hospital!!!!
August 17th, 2010
Saturday & Sunday were days off. We had a huge storm Friday nite that woke me. The lightenng lit the whole of the sky………. it was like nothin I’ve seen before!!! Again Saturday morning we had the same freak weather!! Managed to go to the Holiday Inn Saturday with a couple of the families as Summer, Cody, Janet, Hanah, Amy & Liam left Sunday. Managed to spend a bit of time playing ‘Pounce’ with them Saturday eve; so gonna miss playing that game in the evenin with them all BUT it’s somthing that I’ll be taking home with me.
Sunday we got up to say our goodbyes and I wish them all the best & look forward to hearing from them all.
We booked Charlie (the driver) and Keiran & I went out with Jill, Joe, Jaden, Louissa, Kevin & Deacon downtown. It was great to get out!!!!! I don’t think it would have mattered where we went as long as we were not looking at the same four walls; going crazy! We visited the Jimmo market and had fun bartering with the locals. Some of them were sweet & offered Keiran a seat while I looked 
After a couple of hours there we went and looked around the Temple. Keiran enjoyed ringing the bell & feeling the vibrations on his face as it was chiming. We then grabbed some lunch at an American Diner; best food we’ve had & the first time we’ve had full stomachs lol. We headed down to the Pier afterwards. I’ve never seen so many people in the sea or on the beach. The water was not a pleasant colour & there was no way I would let Keiran paddle in it!!!! Although, if I dd I think we would have struggled to find a spot LOL.
When we came back to the Hospital……Keiran and I had a little Karaoke session & a huge laugh to feel like we were joining a party back home; my brother Jason, Stacey & Chloe are emigrating to Australia while we are away 
Gonna miss them heaps!!!!! Keiran was in hysterics for most of the evening and our faces were hurting so much from laughing. Laughter is definitely the best medicine & we slept like babies after having such a great day!!
Love Hayley xxxx

Awesome, glad to hear you guys got away for a day! Sounds like you had a blast. Did you take any pics of all the people on the beach, I would be interested in seeing that one! I can only imagine.
Take care guys

Hiya
Glad everything is going well, and Keiran as always is fighting on!!!
Must be such a relief to have some home comforts ( Proper good old english food!!!! cant beat it!!! Beef chasseur is a favourite for the chefs at my work, maybe you should teach them a few of your secrets!!!)
Hope your last few weeks arent too bad, and you get to find a slightly cleaner beach!!!
Its been a hectic few weeks for this Reynolds clan too, had Aidans Basketball tournment in Andorra with him playing for Wales, which was great fun. And there are two sets of results days that are keeping us all on edge.
Hope you have a great few weeks
Speak to you soon
Millie, Aidan, Aunty Teresa and Uncle Shaun

Hi Hayley and Keiran
Have been following your blog and it’s brought back lots of our memories of the time we spent in Qingdao. Matty wants to know whether you’ve been playing wii this time Keiran! It must be very different to be there this time during the summer! It sounds VERY hot. We are thinking of you both and it just reminds us of how brave you are, Keiran to be going through everything for a second time. Glad to hear you’ve had some time out and found laughter along the way to help you along! I feel for you Hayley – must be hard without the physical presence of Keith this time but your amazing strength is so impressive. Love from us both
