Visitors


We had a visit this weekend from Mum and the kids, and also from our lovely friends, Di & Wattie and their daughter Rebecca, her husband Sebastian and their beautiful baby Annabelle.
It was such a lovely thing to catch up with friends, and just watch the kids run around outside in the sun and play in the wonderful playground the hospital has set up. Life almost seems normal - if only for a few hours.



There have been many people come to visit, some are reasonably local to the Children's Hospital, Others have made the trek down from the Central Coast. All have brought smiles and hugs and many warm wishes. I love when we get visitors. It gives me renewed strength to keep going.



It is funny when they arrive. They come to the ward and stand outside Harrison's room, if there are kids with them the kids faces are pressed against the glass peering through to catch a glimpse of Harrison. It makes me wonder at how when babies were born 20 odd years ago, people visited and saw the baby through the glass.

We have had such wonderful visits, and many coffee's and to all those who made the trip here to see us - Thanks.

There are also those who could not visit - or chose not to due to illness and not wanting to bring it near Harrison. We thank you too. Without your kind words via email, phone or sms, life would not have remained as normal as it has while we have been here.

Thank you all - for the coming here in the first place, for giving us your warm wishes, for giving us lots of yummy food, coffee, chocolate and keeping me well read! The generosity, love and support have truly made a difference. Next post is about going home ... :)

Choose your pokemon and search for its different poses.
It is the world where the man-eating demon hangs out.
Then draw two circles inside for the eyes, usually chibi eyes are big.

I'm curious to find out what blog platform you happen to be working with? I'm experiencing some small security issues with my latest blog and I'd like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any recommendations?
