After leaving my husband looking pale and nauseous yesterday, I was very glad to find him looking much more alive and well this morning. Turns out the anti nausea meds actually made him feel worse so he did have a pretty rough night….thankfully that seems to have all passed, and he was able eat some […]
So today was “fix the hernia” day….and what a hell of a day it has been! Yesterday, they told us to be at the Day Surgery Centre at 9.30am. We got there about 9.20am and got asked “where were you, we needed you at 9am!” Safe to say that wasn’t the best start…. However, unlike […]

The babies survived only briefly, and Cass and her husband then had to say goodbye to their beautiful boys. They are now raising money to purchase two Cuddle Cots […]
Today, we headed out to the Sandown Racetrack for the Australian Transplant Games cycling events…thankfully the rain that was forecast didn’t eventuate, and the strong winds from yesterday subsided a little! In fact, Melbourne turned on a beautiful sunny day! As this was our first transplant games, we had no idea what to expect…..and discovered […]
