Another day in the Big Smoke

Today saw us return to GOS (somewhat reluctantly). We managed a chest x ray without event. The ECG was more fun for William who enjoyed removing the sticky pad and crocodile clips as fast as the technician could attach them, some wriggling later a satisfactory reading had been obtained. We met Nikki, the BMT Senior Sister who answered a number of our more random questions whilst William slept cooperatively. We CAN have Gillie at home when William first comes out HOORAH! I had a tour of the unit, our future temporary residence which was interesting and saw two other happy tots also aboard the BMT rollercoaster. Rob nobly/wisely declined the tour due to his VERY (I am reliably informed) bad sore throat and squeaky voice. A strange place indeed but the rooms were not quite as small as I had feared although a bit like goldfish bowls with staff and other carers peering through windows.
Back upstairs for bloods and success this time with a bit of intuition from the nurse and a dollop of good luck as even the 'magic' light couldn't spot his veins.
Back home after collecting Gillie who had thoroughly enjoyed his stay at the big house in Braishfield with Granma and Pappa.
