No bloods last week so no hospital stays! But, we have a day stay booked for this Thursday for Lara to undergo some annual tests. She won't be needing the biopsy now since she had one last week but she will be having a kidney test which involves a luer, injecting dye and taking blood every hour or two to monitor her kidneys working. It's one of the side effects of her anti rejection meds, that her kidneys could be affected. Sort of like how she could get lymphoma if the medicine suppresses her immune system too much too. Doesn't bear too much thinking really though because our doctors monitor Lara pretty thoroughly to try and pre-empt these things. Things have been pretty good otherwise, apart from the whining and tantrums from a typical two year old. I am trying to educate her to speak to us in a nicer voice and I think its working. She is so lovely when she talks nicely. One of our friends is doing fundraising for Child Cancer Foundation. Sean Morgan is the husband of Sharon who supported us so much through our liver transplant journey. You've probably heard me mention her here a lot as mum of Liam who had his liver transplant at age 3. Sean currently has long hair so this will be a massive change for him to get his head shaved. If you would like to get behind a great cause and support Sean's funrazing (yes it is the correct spelling!) efforts on 4th December, here is the link to his donation site. http://www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/SeanMorgan/
Good Luck Sean! You're a brave man.
