Frank's Home

Frank came home this afternoon and is already lording it up. His homecoming was delayed until he could eat without vomitting and also get out of bed and walk. The first he managed at lunchtime, the second took a bit longer. Hey, come on, he is a teenager, Vicky always has problems getting out of bed! The consultant was very happy with the surgery and has even offered Frank a video of his own operation! Maybe I should post the gory bits on the blog when we get it! The good news from Franks point of view is that he's got the rest of the week off school, and also can't do PE or games for a month.

Frank's kidneys

Frank was lying in bed half asleep as he had just had a dose of morphene and was feeling a little sick because of this. Afer about half an hour he perked up a little. Apparrently he had waited for his sisters and mum to visit which was nice. Hopefully he will be home tomorrow sometime if he is eating without feeling ill.

Frank is out of theatre and is in the recovery room. Will let you know more later.

Frank's kidneys

As most are aware Frank went into hospital on Sunday 4h March. I have just heard that he has gone into surgery and it will be about 4 to 5 hours before he is out.

Girls Day Out

While the boys were out, us girlies decided to go out too!

Where did we want to go? Matalan.
Where did we go? Otley, Pateley Bridge & Harrogate.

A great day out with a fun picnic at Pateley Bridge. 60 Miles travelled, lots of uphill at 20mph, much to the dismay of the Mercedes behind!

And finally, at the end of the day (well I say end of the day, it was 2pm), a trip to matalan, even if we didn't buy anything!

Air training corps update

I went down to the atc on Monday and got signed up. We learned some basic drill. Then we got some forms to get my dad to sign. We meet twice weekly on Monday and Thursday. I am in C flight.

Air Training Corps

I went to the air training corps tonight and watched the presentation. After this we had a look round the building (it's changed a lot since you were there Uncle Alan). They told us we couldn't join tonight, but had to go away and think about it, and return Monday if we wished to join. No fear - I'll be there for definite - can't wait.

Louise's First Blog

I just wanted to check if it would let me post under my own name. Also, guess who is 49!!! on saturday!!!!!!! :P

Frank's kidneys

For any of you out there who don't yet know, Frank has been given an appointment for his op. He goes into St. James' Hospital on Sunday 4th March and hopefully has his operation 1st thing Monday. He's having the cystic kidney removed by keyhole surgery, and hopefully will be back out Monday evening/Tuesday morning. Meanwhile this Thursday (1st Feb) he's going to the Air Training Corps to see about enrolling. I don't know how we'll cope if he gets even more bossy!
