Or the Secret Sleepover as we like to call it!
I'm at Addenbrookes tonight to stay over while Alisha gets some well earned rest & importantly, some time with Jessica who doesn't really know why her parents aren't around.
Caitlin is in good spirits, for a girl who has been in hospital since the end of January its amazing. So far we've coloured, watched Barbie, watched telly & generally had a really good time. It's so nice to hear her laugh & smile, given what she's been through.
The best thing though, is seeing her eat. It's been quite a while since I've seen Caitlin eat anything major & tonight she had a scrummy burger for dinner which she's had half of. This might not seem a lot but it's a feast to us!!! She is also drinking too, not a great deal but its a start.
She's had several different antibiotics, calpol to get her temperature down, & Septrin which she has at home. Caitlin's now asleep whilst having an overnight feed through her NG tube. This is something we'll do when she gets home as well. I'm expecting a rough night as she gets up a lot to go to the toilet so I'll leave it there & update later probably.

That's a big burger :) glad caitlin is doing better x
ReplyDeleteGood grief that burger is almost as big as Caitlin! Hope you both manage to get some sleep on your secret sleepover... Sshhhhhh... ;-) x
ReplyDeleteReally great to see Caitlin laughing and chatting today. She seems to have grown up so much in the last few weeks.
ReplyDeleteGood that she still enjoys reading her favourite book though (Argos catalogue;-)!
Love you loads Caitlin
