Sitting in the cinema with the kids waiting for the film to start. Its been a pretty relaxing morning. Took Lauren to her Les Mis rehearsal in Hemel Hemspstead (contact Boxmoor Playhouse for tickets!) And then just spent morning tidying house up. Not quite sure that's classified as quality time with kids but sure made me feel better. Actually removed the drip stand and Michael's med table and tpn rucksack to the garage. Hoping they won't have to return. All that needs to go now is his drawer of drugs - hopefully in time that will also go but meanwhile looks a bit more like our old bedroom!!
Nathan also gave his room a mass clear out. A lot of his horse pictures came off the wall - think it's his way of telling me how desperate he is for his room to be decorated and he wants something more grown up. He'll have to wait a bit longer for that. Maybe in a few months it'll be another therapeutic task for me!
Michael's back from theatre now, being 'nursed' by his parents. As well as having a bit of 'wash out' he also had a new line put in his neck. It's not good to have it in longer than a week because of risk of infection. Apparently he's in a bit of pain - and I'm not there :(
Spoke to the Surgeon yesterday who explained the mystery. Michael's bowel is all connected up to work properly and the stoma is for easy access for them to check that everything is healthy and doing as it should. And then hopefully in a year, the stoma will be closed up.
Ooooh - Three Muskateers about to start. Will I get thru it without falling asleep?
