Australia day

As mentioned yesterday we headed to parramatta park to get into the spirit of Australia day.The only problem was Kal just wasn't up to it.I knew that it was only a short stroll from the hospital to the park.What i didn't know was how big parramatta park was.The worst part being that all the festivities were at the very far end from westmead.So it turned in to quite a hike which ended up being too much too soon for Kal.With Kallan's blood counts still probably fairly low he just doesn't have the energy levels needed for a)the long hike there b)walk around to take in and get involved in all the attractions and c)the long hike back.It knocked him around quite a bit and he really appreciated getting back home just to rest and re-charge the batteries.I think the main reason he wanted to go to the park is because of the quietness of the house.Despite nearly all rooms being taken the house does seem strangely quiet and he's commented several times on how there's no-one to hang out with and said to me a little while ago that he's ready for some more visitors.If only it was that easy.Kal finsihed the day feeling good and more importantly was in good spirits.
