HOME AT LAST

I got a bit of a shock today as I arrived to visit Kayla. I walked into the ward and there before me sat a glam looking Kayla. Out of bed, in a chair reading, hair washed, dressed, shoes on, packed........AND DISHCHARGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not just for the weekend but permanently!!!!

She has made such a recovery and impression on both the surgical and medical teams that they feel it is time for her to go home!

Earlier in the week they reduced and then stopped her parental nutrition (liquid feed delivered to the bloodstream) because she was eating and her 10 foot mini-intestine seemed to be absorbing nutrients better than bunty kitchen roll absorbs transvestite spillages!

The surgical team (aka Girl Power) were amazed at Kayla's resilliance and healing powers. Pre-operative the chances of a fix were very slim. Post-operative the surgeon said that it is nigh on a miracle! The outcome and repair to her intestines is far far better than anyone envisaged. Her Gyn-Onc from the Marsden was also at her surgery and gave her a good check over including numerous biopsies - all of which have since come back negative!!!

Those of you who know my little "stick insect" will understand that this must be her time for some good luck after what seemed like never ending bad luck!

She is asleep in bed next to me as I type this, snoring, muttering and dribbling (not exactly romantic but fantastic to have her back!) Gonna try her with a nice fry up tomorrow as she needs to get her strength up ready for the holiday her mum is gonna arrange for her.

This is a good point to thank everyone for your support, kind words and song lyrics! .........

"Biggi up da respect !" whatever! bling bling in'it!

or

Friends, Family, Readers.............THANKS XXXXXXXXX

A special big thanks to "Ma" and "Pa" in Law. MJ and DD without the massive help I have had from you guys I don't think that I would have made it through this and also the kids would have starved to death!!!!!! Thanx guys........................let's now focus towards onwards and upwards!!!!


Well that's all from me...............here I sit feeling very happy for Kayla but also a little guilty for our good fortune during such a horrible week on jo's (www.jotrust.co.uk) Our thoughts, prayers and empathy go out to all of those having a bad time of it right now.....stay strong!!!!!!!

Take care everyone

A battle won but the war still rages!!!!!!!!!!!!!
