At last some good news

Despite remaining in intensive care Kallan is stable and off the medication for his blood pressure.As i mentioned last time he responded immediately to the medication and it didn't take long for them to work out the ideal dosage.During the night the dosage was gradually reduced as his condition improved.As the day went on his condition had gotten to the stage where he no longer needed the medication and it was turned off at around 2pm.In fact if camperdown ward had a bed available he would've gone there.It's great to finally feel some relief and see the old Kallan come back to us.Later that night Kal and i watched Bruce almighty and anyone who's watched a funny movie with Kal would know what i mean when i say i don't know what was funnier the movie or Kal.The nurse in Kal's room(nurses in icu have little work stations in the room)even told him he was allowed to stay up all night watching funny movies because she could listen to that laugh all night.He's had quite a few visitors throughout the day including Nanny T and Auntie Netty plus families from down the house.A few nurses from camperdown also paid him a visit and when i saw 2 of them downstairs they told me he should definitely get a bed down there tomorrow.Fingers crossed that happens and i never thought I'd look forward to the little pull out beds in the ward but they beat a couple of plastic chairs any day.I don't know how long Kal will have his chemo delayed but we'll worry about that later.

It's so good to hear the meds worked so well and he is so much better. What a rotten week. Fingers crossed there will be a bed for him tommorrow. It's nice to hear you were having a good time giggling at Bruce Almighty despite feeling so awful. Take care, love K, M, I & S XXXX
