Sunday 16th March

We’re home! Phew, we are home with a bit of a rash but no more high temperatures and promises to go back tomorrow for blood cultures and IV antibiotics and the day after and the day after and for a probably for a few days more. I am still hoping that once he gets a negative culture that I will be able to learn to do the IV antibiotics at home. It’s great to be back although we had to detour into South Gloucestershire on the way home to avoid the Bath half marathon. We made it back by late afternoon and went for a walk. We saw several of Rob’s colleagues on our walk who all commented how well William seems, we didn’t disillusion them by telling them that we had only been out of the hospital for 2 hours!!!! I took his NG tube out on Friday too so we can see what he really looks like. Although the funny thing is that I never really noticed it and now it’s gone I don’t notice that it’s not there either if you know what I mean. Have rushed around catching up on the laundry and unpacking just in case we get tied up again at the hospital, we try and work on the theory that if we are all packed and ready to go and the house looks reasonable, then we won’t have to be away but if the place is a mess and we have no clean socks we are bound to have to stay!!! It doesn’t always work!!!
