We have had the most wonderful weekend.
Brett was released on Thursday and had to return by 8 am Friday.
Unfortunately the day didn't go too well as he needed a platelet transfusion and that took until 5:30 pm.
When there's no platelets in stock you often wait hours.
Anyhoo, Friday night at home all 4 of us was just indescribably brilliant.
We talked and decided we should have our Christmas Day on Sunday.
You can't really replace Christmas day so we just wanted it out of the way and to move on.
So I went shopping Saturday to but a gift for each of them and for my mum and dad whom we had invited for Christmas day dinner - nothing expensive, I warned my husband when he nipped out to buy something for me.
The presents were under the tree Saturday night and weirdly enough it did feel a bit like Christmas eve.
Sunday/ Christmas day arrived and it was just a wonderful day. The meal I cooked was nearly quite edible !!
And our few precious friends and family texted us Merry Christmas.
I would sum up the whole event in four words - Strange weird brilliant grateful.
Today Brett is back in his bubble room waiting to see if he's classed as well enough for total discharge.
Total discharge including Monday Wednesday and Friday back on the hospital ward for checks, blood tests etc.
But another step forward none the less.
I can't help but have an excited feeling.
Could our luck be changing ?
I have a sparkly feeling it could.
