Update via Shaylie.


I missed an update phone call from Darren last night so Shaylie called fill me in this morning. I have no details about how Kallan is feeling but Shaylie did tell me that they may be coming home this afternoon. Darren and Kallan are excited to be coming home but Shaylie wants to stay at Westmead. So, what I can gather is that Kallan will be coming home for a few days but needs to go back down before Christmas.

I wish I could remember word for word my conversation with Shay, but you who know her can add the personality that I cannot convey through my relaying of the story.

Yesterday Darren took Kal and Shay to darling harbour to see the wildlife and aquarium. I didn't hear much about that other than they couldn't see the seals and the Great Barrier Reef section. Shay wasn't sure why but said, "the seals were doing sum'in (something)". I did hear lot about the trip there though. They ended up catching a bus in. Shaylie informed me to stop the bus you had to press a button. I can imagine that she was eyeing that button off if her summary of the trip is anything to go by. She said, "It just went on and on and on and on for hours". Luckily Aunty Peta came to the rescue for the trip back. Kallan's bum was sore from sitting on bus and so Aunty Pete came to pick them up and return all to where they had left the car. Then there was the search for an ATM to pay for parking where they had to walk for ages and ages, hmmm...I wonder if Shaylie was chief wheelchair pusher yesterday on the long search for an ATM?

The trip tired Kallan out but Shay was ready to play when they got back to RMH.

Shaylie informs me that today there is going to be a party and the Eel's are coming. She said that even though she doesn't like the Eel's she is excited to meet them because she has never met a football team before, but she has met other celebrities (whom she then listed). Shay informs me that Kallan is going to wear his Tigers jersey and hat to "stir them up". Shay said she doesn't want to make them mad. I heard Darren in the background say that he would sort them out. Shay then informed her dad that they would sort him out. She then told me, "They are really strong you know!" So Kallan looks to have some excitement today maintaining his loyalty to the Tigers. We'll have to see what happens a little later on. Thanks for the update Shay!

Have a great day Kallan and Shaylie.

WELCOME HOME - Kallan, Dash and Shaylie.
It was sooooo good to see you all on Friday afternoon looking so well and happy. I'm sure being home has made the world of difference to you Kal. I know Shaylie was not quite as keen to get home as you and Dad, but I'm sure she is glad to see everybody here. It was great to see you were well enough to go to Dad's soccer presentation, even though it was only for a short while.
Congratulations to you Dash on being named the "Player of the Year". I guess the Socceroos will be after you now.
Once again, welcome home to you all. We are REALLY loving having you here.
Lots of love always
Nan and Pop.
