In for transplant on Thursday

We got the call yesterday to come in for the transplant on Thursday. One of the kids who was due in got an infection so it freed up a slot. All a bit of a panic now as we were expecting a bit more notice than that! I've taken today and tomorrow to get ready and try and get the house in shape, it needs to be spotless for when we return but we can always send an advance party when we know we're getting back. We need lots of clean clothes for the trip so of course our washing machine has decided to break down. I've said it before and I'll say it again; I must have really pissed someone off some time in my past.

We got a call from Crumlin this morning. Some levels related to liver functions are high and they wanted another blood test take. We popped up to Portlaoise this morning to get that done. They want her to have good liver function before she goes in as the treatment could give her liver a hit. I don't know if that means she might not ready to go in but we haven't been told otherwise so will just go with the flow.

On the way back from Portlaoise today, we made the most of the good weather by having a picnic in a playground. It's nice that it's a good day and she can have a bit of fun outside. It's going to be a good while before that happens again.
