Friday 19th September 2008 - Mummy and daddy came to see me very early today because daddy said they couldn't sleep as I had to go for an operation to fit a Hickman line.
I was awake when they came and I played a little game with them. I opened my eyes to make sure they were there then, when they looked at me, I closed them again to pretend I was asleep! It was very funny but I couldn't laugh because the tube is still in my throat. I think mummy and daddy liked the game though.
I was very good for my nurse all day and slept most of it with no trouble while I waited patiently for the doctors to ring and say I could go downstairs. Mummy and daddy waited anxiously and we finally got a call at 4pm to say I could go. My nurse got all my medicines and monitors ready to transport me downstairs but then got another call at 4:45pm to say I couldn't go now because the people downstairs waiting for me had over run. I will now have to wait until Monday which is a shame because I hadn't had anything to eat all day and I have a line in my neck that has been there for over a week and mummy and daddy are worried it might get infected.
I will be weaned slowly off my morphine (hopefully mummy and daddy will stop spinning then!) and ventilator and other drugs over the weekend and will also have some special milk to help me get a little fatter.
My auntie Cassie, Uncle Dom and cousins Cain and Callum came to see me in the evening which was nice. I wish I felt better so I could smile but I was too tired so didn't see much of them.
