Kal Heart Broken

It's been a long time since i updated the blog and all i can put it down to is just enjoying being home and probably being a bit of a slacker.But since Kallan has been home he has been enjoying being at school with all his mates and having his family around all the time.We've had a trip back to Sydney to see his surgeon and received a good report.He told us that the scans show that both humerus bones are almost identical in length and that he doesn't need to see us for another 6 months.Since then he's been doing really well and feeling as good as he has been for a long time.

That all changed on Thursday when he started feeling unwell after he returned home from having physio and having blood taken at John Hunter.I told him to have a lay down and try to get some sleep and feeling quite unwell myself i thought that might do the trick for both of us.I ended up taking his temperature and when it read 39.9 i rang the hospital.Even though his chemo has finished they still needed him to come down.He immediately became upset and even more so when i told him i couldn't come with him because i was sick too.His main concern was that it was so close to the WWE and he might miss out on going.The next morning as i arrived at the hospital Mum rang me to tell me that Kal had returned a positive blood culture and that his much anticipated trip to see his WWE hero's in action was not going to happen.To say he was devastated would be the mother of all understatements.He'd been looking forward to it for so long and i decided that i just can't bring myself to going because i wouldn't enjoy it because I'd be thinking about him the whole time and how much he would have loved it.On the flip side i didn't think it would be fair if Shaylie missed out as well so i gave the tickets to her Uncle Ronnie so he could take her.I hope she has a great time.

Kal will now spend the next 5-7 days in hospital having antibiotics with the only plus being that he is allowed home for 4-5 hours each day as long as his temp is down and he's feeling OK.The doctors will have the final say each day as to if he can get out.

Oh no! What a pitty you missed out Kal. I relayed this message to Cory and he was upset you couldn't make it (Cory being the avid WWE fan himself!). Get to feeling better Kal, we love you and are sorry you missed such a big event that you were so looking forward to.
