Well, we are back in PMH. Oliver had a few vomits last night, one that brought up his nasogastric tube. He then decided to get a temperature. The rules are that when he gets too high a temp, we head back in to Ward 3b. So we lodged back in at the hospital at about 4.30 this morning.
They have taken blood to see if it grows (blood cultures) and since this takes 48 hours, we are in for at least that long. In the mean time he is started on antibiotics just in case. He certainly seemed to take a turn for the worse quite quickly. At 6pm he was quite happy, but by a bit later in the night everything went awry.
I've come home to grab a few bits and pieces that we missed before heading back in. Nothing important, just a few little luxuries. Karli was all set to go when the time came. All we needed to do was throw the suitcases in the car, buckle up, and go. I had better do the same now.

Dear Karli,Simon & Oliver,
You are in our thoughts every day as you face this challenge. And you are doing an amazing job, Oliver has chosen the right parents to love, care and guide him through his journey.
We have a spare bed if you need some quiet time away from the hospital - or if you just want to sit in the garden. We would love the opportunity to be helpful.
Love Lorraine & Bruce
