Off to Melbourne this morning with Royal Flying Doctor Service

Hectic morning at the hospital this morning with nurses trying to get Lauren ready for her transfer to RCH Melbourne under rushed conditions with the ambulance was ready to take her right on time. Upshot is, she's on her way right now with Damien, Chief Pilot and nurse Chloe (I think that's correct) in an RFDS flight to Essendon Airport.

This week has seen some unusual things happening, like Lauren hallucinating from the concoction of drugs she's been on for the foot infection & cellulitis. That's still not totally fixed yet, but looking much better today. The yellow eyes are a concern, however VOD has been ruled out. The side effects from the drugs is disconcerting. So off to Melbourne (RCH) for treatment of infections and once sorted, prepare for the CAR-T Cell infusion. So RCH Melbourne is best place for her right now.

Special thanks to all the nurses, cleaning staff and Doctor's who have worked to get Lauren ready for this flight over the last couple of weeks. Also thanks Damien for the tour of the aircraft - brought back memories!!

She hasn't seen her new room in the new house yet as she never came out of hospital this visit. I'm sure she just stayed in the RAH longer so she didn't have to help with the move. Anyway her cranes (20,000 #cranesforlauren) are waiting for her when she gets back. We only had to dump 5 pieces of furniture to house the cranes!! - thanks Jen F!!
