Grant update.

Grant is much better and is home from the hospital. He slept most of the day - with one difference: he was conscious and wake-able! He does have quite a bad headache but hopefully by tomorrow he will be back to his normal self.
The doctor at Constantiaberg was able to find his usual medication (tablets) so he will have enough until he sees the doctor at 2Mil. and then they'll have to go from there. We left the liquid morphine at the hospital! They donate unwanted/unused leftovers to cancer patients at Hospice who cannot afford it.

We have had many phone calls and sms's (from far and near) and visitors and lots of help in the form of lifts, suppers, a plate of freshly-made-still-warm doughnuts (Grants favourite) made by our expert baker neighbour and steaming hot bread pudding made by my mom - also one of Grant's favourites! He has many favourite puddings!! The lengths some people will go to to get people to bake for them!!

Thank you to all those who have shown concern and helped out, Grant has been very surprised by the number of people who have called. And thank you to all my school parents who have been very understanding about me having the day off today. One thing about working for yourself - it doesn't come with sick or compassionate leave!! I really am very fortunate to have such wonderful families at my little school.


Hopefully the rest of the week will be calm and uneventful!! (Ha ha!)
