It was the day after your christening so a few of us decided to go for dinner in Edenderry Golf Club, although the food was lovely the service was snail slow and disaster, your dad when eventually got his dinner sent it back. Rosaleen, Luke, Maggie, Johnny, Liam, Sheila, Sarah, Mammy, Me, your Dad, Teresa, Abigail, Shirley, Andrew & Kids, all arrived out after we'd booked it that morning, you think they would have been grateful for the large booking!
Anywho on the way back in Crumlin called wondering what time we were gonna be up at??? News to us, apparently your stent procedure had been booked for 2moro so you would have to be admitted 2day. Big rush around then to get all your things together, arrange for abigail to be taken care of (which was never a problem) and get ourselves in order, janey it was all go. Got you up anyway that evening and checked in, in the A&E, they put us on St Peters Ward.
Anne & Alan put us up for the few nites in their place in Dundrum, hated leaving you that nite but nurses were very reassuring that they'd look after you really well and there was no need for us to stay when we were only 10mins down the road, it was still heartbreaking leaving you tho. During the night they moved you out to St Teresa's coz they were wary of your heart condition, i was glad in a way, you were back in commom ground.
Procedure went well, felt like ages while you were down there, i gowned up going down to theatre, god it was massive, they put you asleep in my arms and off i'd to go then til they were done. You were in so much pain afterwards, i really felt for you, they had to give you meds every few hrs to put you ay ease, could only imagine, well i couldn't actually - it must have been awful having they disturb yer little manhood ;-) thank god for short term memories of pain for babies. Was dreading when you would start to remember the hospital as a place where all they do is take bloods or bring you down for procedures.
Even a mention of word home and you were dressed and ready, waiting on discharge ;-) loved the ppl there but hated being there. Only comforting thing bout you being there was that you were in the right place for care and improvement on quality of life. All the same we were delighted to get you home on the Tuesday, 1 day after your procedure, you were such a brave little fighted xox
