Update #53. Day +55. Going home!!!

Hasn't been a lot of news the last couple of weeks, except Lauren finally got her nasal tube out last week and will now allow us to take photos of her. We haven't done much of late except visit the hospital for blood checks as she still can't mix with people. A recent drive to the Gap gave her a chance to see something of Sydney.

We've been OK'd to return to Adelaide next week, so please don't continue to use the PO Box in Randwick to mail us anything. The PO Box closes this Friday/next Monday. We're just waiting to confirm flights etc. Lauren can't wait to see her dog, Jemma again (the one contact she'll be allowed). She is still in isolation until day +100, so please be aware of this.

Her 'creatinine' levels (kidney reading) are still fluctuating but seems to be maintaining suitable levels with the fluids she drinks each day. Time will tell as this is the first week we're not using IV fluids as well. Aside from this we've been lucky in that Lauren hasn't needed to be hospitalised overnight since she left the transplant room - seems like so long ago now.

Congratulations to all those who walked in the 'Light the Night Walk' in Adelaide last Wednesday. We heard it went really well....and thanks for the pictures!!

So all going well, we should be back next week, see you then.
