day 11 at home

lily,she's doin well and at the moment is going nowhere by the looks of things.Nissins operation seems to be working so far and her oxygen requirement is a little bit less then before the op.God,its great to feel like a normal run of the mill family again.She's gagging after her overnite feeds but im told that will settle and anyway my wife has turned into the best nurse a man could ask for. All meds, all peg changes, all suctioning , all neps actually anything that has to be done with my beautiful Lily Caroline takes care off... in fact,at our last visit to crumlin hospital i was left on my own in a+e while my wife went out for a smoke break.the nurses came around and asked me Lilys date of birth and guess what.... i got it wrong.but i used the excuse that i had 4 kids and just got confused on the d.o.b.. thank god Caroline came back just then as i probally would have been tripped up by their next question.like whats her surname?
Anyway,we're home, life is good again for all and hopefully the summer will be warm with lots of time in the garden with all the kids and maybe a holiday thrown in at some stage.(reccession permitting)
