Day 25 – Monday 1 February, 2010
Emily was providing a lot of entertainment tonight, texting her dad about leaving his tea cups around the room and not tidying up after himself. Katherine was laughing so hard, she was crying.
Emily is neutropenic (meaning, in the most basic sense, she has no resistance to infection) so they were very lucky to be able to go home at all over the weekend. Kath found it challenging at home being both nurse and mum. In the hospital she can just be Mum.
Last night they started Em on IV antibiotics to bring down her temperature. Today she has had a good day. We had a really nice visit with them tonight and Emily was her true self – we learned a LOT about Littlest Pet Shop!
Emily enjoyed reading yesterday’s comments from her friends.

Nana agrees with Grandma about the hat. A Lady from Nana’s work made that for you when you were about 4 years old, it looks great.
It was great to get your Text, I now have your name and number in my contacts, so will be able to text you when I want to. (Thanks to Joan and Marty)
Good to hear that you got home for the weekend hope you enjoyed being home.
Nana is looking forward to coming down to see you again in 4 weeks time (5th March)

Way to go Emily, we love hearing about you laughing and being back to your ‘true’ self. By the way I love your hat, it’s gorgeous!!
So pleased you all had some time at home together, I bet it was awesome to play with your toys again!
Emily, I find Neil’s cups all over the house too, in the garage, computer room, lounge and sometimes even outside!
We have a gorgeous black and white photo of Neil holding you as a baby, very cute were, and as for Neil, well let’s just say he looked a lot younger!
Hope you have a good day today xx

Hey Em
I wonder if your home smelt different when you went home, Strange to say but when i spent a long time in hospital and then went home it smelt different somehow, but it’s still great to get home tho ay,
You must have been a good little chicken to be allowed home,
Love and kisses
Sach, Jay, Autumn, Kendal and Eve XXXXXXXXX
