Some home time

I was at the shops with the kids today and got a call from Shanean - the nurses told her she could go home for a few hours today - she had her chemo in the morning and no more medication was scheduled until 800pm. The nurse on duty seemed to have taken pity on her - she couldn't believe that Shanean was scheduled to stay in hospital for three weeks straight

so we picked her up at the front of the hospital - the kids were ecstatic and we brought her home for a good few hours - she wasn't too well as her headache from the spinal tap was more severe when she stands up and walks - but a change of scenery from the hospital was good

whilst it was all good having her home - It was a bit traumatic for the kids sending her back - they thought everything was back to normal so they got a bit upset when we had to drop her off again - Nessie crying in the back seat of the car asking "why mummy can't come back with us" was a tad heartbreaking.

In true resilient salter kid form however, everything was completely fine once we were around the corner and with a promise of a trip to red rooster (an australian fast food chain) it was all singing and laughing again
