Sydney's Journal - October 2004

I came home from the hospital again. I hope I never have to go back. Now that I have this Broviac tube, Mama and Dada have to keep it clean on a daily basis. A nurse came by our house to show them how. Every day that have to plug in a couple of syringes and flush it with some liquidy stuff. Supposedly it keeps my tube from clogging up. Then once a week they have to peel off my bandage and clean it with this messy brown stuff and put on a new bandage. It's no fun, let me tell ya. But Dada sings to me and keeps me distracted so I don't cry.

This month has been pretty uneventful so far, which in my case isn't necessarily a bad thing. So I thought I'd just share a few photos of what I've been up to the past few weeks.

Well it sure was nice to have this Broviac tube. I had to get another transfusion, but this time I didn't have to get stuck with any needles. The nurse hooked my tube up to the machine and I was getting new blood in no time. It still took over 3 hours though. I'm sure glad Mama was there with me.

Today was like any other day until I woke up from my nap. Apparently while I was sleeping Mama pulled the old switcheroo on my outfit. When I woke up I was wearing this crazy flower costume. I'm not sure what it's all about but Mama and Dada seemed quite amused. They took a lot of pictures too. Too many, if you ask me.
