Week 112 – “Isla Helene a new begining”

Another week has passed – and Macca is back on the radio. Jill has finished her third week of antibiotics and our fingers are crossed for the results on Friday. She has had an upset week as she had a fall on Tuesday morning and hit her head on the way down. It certainly shook her up and has taken a few days to settle down. I think she was trying to go to fast and doing things on her own. On Thursday she had a new physio. A lot of talking to get her acquainted with Jill’s condition. She is going to get the OT staff to visit us to talk about converting the bathroom – a new toilet and shower that is easier for Jill to use. I hope we are able to get down to the netball courts today.

Jill had some exciting news yesterday – that brought the tears. We had an excited text message from Jeannette & Gavin that Clarissa and Luke’s baby daughter had arrived.

ISLA HELENE CARSON weighed 7lb 4oz born on the 02/08/2008. Late last night we received a photo on the mobile – attached below. Jill’s not certain who she looks like.

Another milestone is to pass on Thursday – Jeannette’s birthday – the best present of all a grand daughter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEANNETTE

We had a Skype phone call this week – a surprise. It was from Bill Pugh. We met Bill and his wife Babs at Nanshan in 2006. Bill has continued treatment for Babs and is living in a unit next to the Hospital. He employs a nurse on an ongoing basis to help with Babs care. It was interesting to hear from him. He has joined the Shenzhen Volunteers. They visit elderly etc in the area. Bill said they come and visit him each week as well. They don’t call on him that much because he does not speak Chinese well enough.

I have just tried to get Jill up and she told me she was dreaming of Eliza Jane. I said who? She replied “My grand daughter when she arrives”. I replied that she obviously knew more than Allison, Chris and Michael. Eliza Jane is the name of Jill’s Great grand mother.

I had better get her up or she will have all her proposed grand children named.

We had a comment from Henry and May in USA but I have been unable to reply via the email address given. Keeps coming back as unsendable. Henry if you have a different email please include it in the comment section – regards

See you next week on the net.

    Mac&Jill,

    Completed my Beike’s application for stem cell treatments and waiting for a reply from them. I wish they were still in Shenzhen because May still have relatives and friends in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

    Sorry, about the email address, try again without the http:/…..,use only hong…….. I notice that your website added the http:/ to the email address when I submitted my comment to your web page. If this still doesn’t work, I will get another email address.
