Wow, what a day.

We have had an AMAZING Christmas Day

To start out we had the usual visit from the doctors, and they are really happy with Adam, AND gave us the great news that Adam has officially engrafted. FANTASTIC!  His neutraphils were 0.8 and we had news, yesterday, that his CMV levels are under control, so we are really over the moon. Although we still have a long way to go, we are very thankful to have this phase complete. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and thoughts to help this phase along.

This set the scene for the rest of the day. Then we skyped our other two boys, their aunty, uncle and cousins, to watch them open presents. It was fantastic to SEE them and be a “fly on the wall”.

 

 

 

Later in the morning the ward had a visit from the wonderful Wiggles. Each year (for 18 years) they have visited the hospital and as many kids as they can on Christmas day. We had a quick song, and Jeff fell asleep… really great!

At lunch we had a fantastic meal provided by “Patsy”. She is a legend here on the ward. We had all the usual fare for Christmas lunch and plenty of it. Thanks Patsy!!

This afternoon we had some down time and Adam was able to leave his room to visit the Balcony and the adolescents room here on the ward. It has a very comfortable couch which was irresistible for a quick snooze!

We hope you managed to have a great Christmas day too!
