Brendan's Journey

DAY 100
Hooray! Brendan has made it to DAY 100. Everyone views this as an important milestone but I am still unsure as to why it is so important. Brendan and I have had 2 visits home. Our dog Rosie was very excited to see us. Home still looks like home, except our neighbours had a working bee and painted the outside of our house while we were in Sydney. It looks FANTASTIC.
Brendan will be discharged from hospital to home tomorrow. We haven't been able to talk and make plans with Brendan's doctor as he has had a cold. Tomorrow we will discuss with the doctors what happens next. I have read so much information on and about transplants but have read nothing on what happens after 100 days. I do know that from next week we will visit the outpatient clinic on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Brendan is in high spirits. He is chatty and very much the little boy he was before he became so ill. Tomorrow we will go home with an armful of drugs, a naso-gastric feeding pump and a wheelchair and beginning the journey to recovery.
Love to you all I will try and get some photos of Brendan with his new hair for the next blog entry.
Love from Anna

HIP HIP HIP HOOOOORAYYYYYY!!!!

I haven't been able to check the blog for so long and how fantastic it is to finally sit down and read about the last few weeks' journey.

It must be so good to be back home and be able to start building towards a more normal routine.

Well done O'Loughlin family, you are champions.

Best wishes and lots of love, Fiona, Bruce, Alex and Sam XOXOXOXOXOX
