Without any problems with her temperature it was the prearranged time for Kim to go back to the ward ready for the next course of treatment. As we headed for Shrewsbury in the dark around 6pm I thought back over the last couple of days.
The fun of Christmas dinner, The jokes about the WII accident, Laughing at Stupid films on DVD during Boxing day, The incident with Stu and a trainer*. All in all I really enjoyed my Christmas with Kim, even though it hard work having a Leukemic child at home.
As we come to the island with the hospital turn, Alec a friend of mine appears, and waves in a weird manner, With his Amber warning lights. God they are bright, in the darkness of the night. We pull in just before the hospital for a quick chat. First about Kim, then my kidneys** then how Christmas when. After saying goodbye, it quickly around the corner and into the hospital car park.
There are smiles and hellos from the nursing staff, Friendly and happy chatter. With all Kim's stuff sorted out, and Kim waving the latest DVD she has at the staff, some Joke about one to one nursing care for about the length of the DVD. It was time to head home.
I sit down in front of the PC, this very PC I am blogging on now. And update my Facebook status with “Dave & Shell is back on the treadmill of having a kid going though chemotherapy”
With that one line status update it was back to Business as usual for a Family fighting Leukemia together. And the reality returned with a bump.
*Long story, I could write a blog just about what stu gets up to. But wont.
** More about them Later in the Blog
