Mixed Bag

Kal woke this morning still not feeling well.DR Stalley visited again this morning and said that the x-rays look great and he even asked Kallan to give him the bird(apparently it shows good nerve function).He also told Kallan that he had to get out of bed and the cathada had to come out.Well not long after,it did come out and it wasn't pleasent for the poor bugger.I must admitt my legs were crossed and eyes were watering just watching and i don't blame him for grabbing at his package every time it was mentioned afterwards.We could really see an improvement in Kallan as the day went on.His Poppy Robbie and Nanny Ruth came and visited and he'd actually made it out of bed and sat on a lounge chair while they were here.He later managed to walk from his bed to the toilet in an attempt to get his bowels moving.Kallan's movement in his bed(i.e.rolling over,sittng up etc)has improved also.

Later in the day Kal's continued trouble with constpation seemed to worsen and his belly pains increased.It was during this time that Kallan's ordeal started to get to him.He just didn't know what he wanted and seemed to be extremely tired.After being given some more meds for his constipation he finally managed to do some number 2's. He said he felt so much better.

Unfortuntely that wasn't the end Kallans troubles for the night.He developed some problems with his bladder and was in some serious discomfort feeling the need to wee constantly.His urine was tested and came back clear.It's suspected he's had some irritation from the cathadar but they are monitoring it in case of a bladder infection.He would later settle and fall off to sleep for the night.

On a lighter note Poppy robbie was talking about the impending nuptuals of his daughter and Kallan's aunty Annette when he said to Kallan "You'll have to be there becuase Annette needs a flower boy" then without hesitation Kal turned and said "tell her Aiden will do it ".It's great to see our Kal coming back out.

Hi Kal
Sorry to hear that you had a rough night mate - I hope things are a lot better now. We are so proud of you Kal, you are an inspiration to all of us who just want to give in to things and let it all get on top of us. I just love it when Dad tells us of all the little funny things you do - seems like our Kal is itching to come out. Pop and I will be down on Sunday - can't wait.
Love you always
Nan & Pop - Aunty Ann and Uncle Dan.
