Hi Everyone,

Louise and are okay, louise and i went to West lake on Sunday with another patient and his sister also from the uk .We walked halfway around the lake and then we went to the zoo which is not very wheelchair friendly.The weather was so hot and  we did not get back to the hospital until 6pm.we were very tired.

On Monday 1st July louise walked without wearing her protective helmet on her head around the ward.she did this five times and the doctors videod louise doing this.Usually louise is very scared to walk on her own or around furniture but she wasn’t.

Wednesday 2nd July08

Louise had her 2nd Lumbar puncture of stem cells .She had to lie on her back or her side for 6 hours.She was sore and she also had a headache .

Thursday 3rd July08

Louise woke up with a headache and the doctor came to our room and gave her some medication and said that she had to drink plenty of water.Louise was fine in the afternoon because she was chatting to all the staff in the treatment room and winding them all up especially lucy and James.

Louise woke up this morning with a bad headache so i called the nurse into our room and the nurse called the doctor in.The doctor said she would give louise some medication and that louise had to rest this morning on her bed.Louise stayed on her bed and went to sleep for a few hours.

Eventually  louise’s headache went and she was okay.At 3pm louise and i decided to go to the local park over the road from the hospital.We did not realise that it was so hot outside until we went outside.The heat hits you as soon as you walk through the doors of the hospital.

We did manage to get across the road before getting run over.The chinese people , do drive alot different from us in the uk.

The park over the road is lovely and clean with frogs that make alot of noise we did manage to see one and it was very small.It was so hot that we decided to go back to the hospital louise and i looked like red beetroots and we were only outside for about half an hour.We could not wait to get back to the hospital and be in an air conditioned building.
