A Long Day

We're back home after a long day at GOSH. We arrived about 11am and left the hospital just after 10pm. One of the first things that needed to be done was a swab of the inside of R's nose and mouth - which totally freaked her out and confirmed that there was no way she was having either of the two tests without a GA. But in order to be able to co-ordinate the GA the MRA and the Echo it meant that R had to be last on the list, so that there wasn't the pressure of another patient coming along in 30 mins. Fortunately with the things we had brought with us, the toys at the hospital and some painting we managed to fill the time, without too many requests for a drink. She finally went down for the tests about 4.45 and was back in the ward shortly after 6pm. It was then just a case of waking up, eating, drinking etc. We will now have to wait for another appointment in order to discuss the results - watch this space. Thank you for your prayers.
