Finally at Ridley for Colin


The summer holidays are over now for Colin . we said goodbye to him today at Ridley . He seemed very happy and cheerfuldespite the hot and humid weather. Mum also decided to go to the school and had a very happy day wandering around and chatting to everyone. She even had a glass of red wine at a reception this evening ....the first for a long time. When we were at the hospital, the Nurse Practitioner suggested that mum should go off the pain patch as it could be contributing to her nausea. She followed her advice and so far it seems to have eased off considerably. Mum is now on Oxycontin, but it is not a very high dose and I suspect it helps her feel more alert .

We heard that Andrew is back home in Vancouver. That is a huge relief .
