Pink Pink Pink!!! yahey, peter is PINK!

[LadyVictoriaOfCake]

spoke to my superman this morning, he was about to be pounced upon by physios so wasnt best pleased.

He has had a new IV in, so hoping the central line will be out later. He seems so much better, and is joking about. Cant belive its been a week since our lives changed within moments. He is hoping to be home in about 4-5 weeks, if all carries on well. I cant wait to see him, and give him a hug with no wires and tubes getting in the way. To have him back in our bed, the bed we bought and he slept in for about 3 weeks only.

i am thinking of writing a letter soon to the donor family.

lol at draughty gown. is a pita all the waiting you have to do in hospitals innit?

Misdee that is heartwarming news, hugs and love to you all xxx

well today was the big fun run. The girls love this, as it means they get a new t-shirt(anyone ouwld think i dont buy them clothes), a number on their back and a goodie bag afterwards full of little treasures like keyrings and pens.

Serena ran round over half the course (1mile), and then tried to get in the buggy for the last 10metres, untill everyone started clapping her then ran across the finish line yelling 'I WIN!!' Nicole, lauren and i were just laughing as we staggered over the line.

We kidnapped Peter from the ward, who is now very hairy (i want the beard gone, you'll see pics why in a minute lol) and looks very tall. He walked the main corrdior then needed thje wheelchair. we had some ice cream, the girls took part i na tug of war (girls won, yay!!), chatted to a few transplant friends, then took peter back.

Was a gorgeous day. Home has been mentioned again for later this week, but he needs another biopsy, apparently thursdays shows NO sign of rejection so thats good.

Am getting very anxious myself about him coming home. got loads to do here so once serena settles back down i am off to tackle the laundry pile.

LOL at Serena

Great news about Peter's continued great progress.

LVOC,
Thank you for the update, so nice to "hear" a sense of happiness and relief in your message, love to you all, xxx

You sound so happy Misdee. Makes my heart glow.

LVOC- glad Peter is doing so well- even if the vac pump is still needed next week, it shouldn't hinder his discharge, they do a portable one! It's a doddle, and most of the district nurses are familiar with them. I'm sure he would rather be home pumpless, but this one is no bigger than a handbag!

So pleased to hear Peter is doing so well!

So pleased Peter's doing so well. How are you all today?

Is there any news or another thread? I've not been able to get online for a couple of days

Lovely pictures misdee, gorgeous children.

. I'm so pleased for you.

I think the latest is that there was a possibility that he might come home today, but it's now looking more likely to be early next week.

This is the latest thread, I think.

I am resurrecting this thread.
Peter is now over 7 years post transplant.

Our number have increased. Quite a lot.

Couple of pictures for you.

Ah, what a lovely update. I can remember sitting by my computer that night refreshing the thread like mad waiting for news about Peter (before he was pink!)

Where has the time gone? I remember bawling having something in my eye when I read this thread, after following you & Peter's story for a while.

All 6 children. The blur is our small boy :)

I remember following this thread while I was at work at night. I was BadHair back then but I didn't post much, just lurked a lot.
As soon as I saw this thread title tonight I knew it was you :-).

I clicked thinking what daftie has resurrected a zombie thread

Lovely news, I never knew your name change and last I read you had 5 DCs. How fab that Peter has a wee pal too.

This thread was my first big MN event. Lovely to hear updates and especially in this case!

It's a mad house.
I should know...I encourage the madness on a weekly basis!!

misdee, I had no idea what your DH (and your whole family had been through). Such a deserved place in the '15 greatest MN thread evan' Hall of Fame. What a lovely family you and Peter have

fabulous misdee!!
