| Day 4 - post-op on Peter Pan Ward |
As soon as Daddy arrived we informed the nurse in charge that we were ready to go home as soon as Kate had had some lunch. She ate a tiny amount.
The nurse removed the cannula from Kate's foot gave us Ibuprofen for her & updated the last dose of that & paracetamol on her paperwork. She confirmed our next appointment - in 3 months as her stitches are dissolvable - will be sent to us in due course and that was that. We left.

| Going home, Sunday 21st April 2013 |
The London Marathon was in full swing although Kedede had won the race already. It's quite a big day for GOSH, as there are lots of people running for them, including previously our friend the play specialist who used to work there. Luckily it didn't hinder our journey home, we saw a couple of runners from our bus to Victoria, and Kate slept for most of the train journey.
After receiving some things back from my Mum & Dad of Nikki's and having a cup of tea with them at home we bathed Kate for the first time & washed her hair and scar. It's very neat and hardly any hair has been shaved. It's almost un-noticeable. What I did notice was a huge ridge in her head where it is. That turned my stomach.
Kate had noticed that Nikki wasn't home and started saying, "Didi da dool". (Nikki's at school!) Little did she know it was Sunday & Nikki was coming home soon, after she'd had dinner at my sister's house with her cousins.
When we knew Nikki was coming, we told Kate & got her ready:
 |
| Nikki's first words were, "Oh, purple eyes"! |
 |
| YEY! |
They were both ready for bed at a reasonable time and went off to sleep happily. I got everything ready for school for Nikki. Hubby and I sat on our sofa together for the first time since last Tuesday. We watched TV for an hour or so before I went up hoping to catch up with some sleep.
