Hi Folks,

Elaine here.Sai's not back on full track yet but is getting there.Things have been busy around here,what with our GP popping in Thursday,Friday and yesterday-(I said we were honoured for a home visit and it's taken 10 yrs for that to happen!i'm cheeky,aren't i ?!he knows my sense of humour by now)....anyway,Friday we had the district /public nurse here,Helena the Home Care Team from Navan here and also a rep from the company that makes the drug/injection Neulasta that Sai has to have every 2nd Friday all showed up at the same time!- all with Sai's well being in mind which is comforting to know-the health system works.

Sai kind of mentioned in his last update (which is meant to say body,not boby-he was a bit spaced still i think) that he's o d' on his Oramorph .In hospital he always had 20ml ,so Sai assumed that was what to take at home,only it comes in different strengths -so basically Sai took 4 times the dose he was meant to! I should have been more aware too.Our gp asked on Friday was he confused or hallucinating etc but he wasn't at that stage,he was fine-but by Sat afternoon then it showed up.I came home after bringing Ethan home from a party and Sai was acting a bit odd,after that as the day went on it was like he was drunk which I have rarely seen (Sai's a bit of a control freak and was never into going to the pub) I tucked him into bed at 8 45m and he arrived back downstairs at 9pm,after being in the toilet for 5 mins too and said he'd had a sleep and felt wide awke now! He thought he's been sleeping for hours.Ok,time to call the doctor on call and ask advice-they decided to send a doctor out to check him as an infection can also cause these symptoms-anyway it was the effect of the Oramorph od.On Sunday he was back to normal,thankfully.He had thought he was somewhere else at times on Sat too amongst other things .

Back on track now-need to hurry this up as Sai has just txt me (!) from his bed asking for sausages,egg and bread with brown sauce-nice for some! He has hospital this afternoon,just the one drug infusion this week so not so bad.

my friend Jenny is visiting this weekend so be good to have a visitor.Sai had 2 worky visitors last night too,Billy and Liam-nice to see you guys!I had to go to Mike's school for meeting re his German exchange trip next week.My wee boy,he's never been away from home,i'm a bit nervous about it but i'm sure he'll be fine.Worms is where they're going.It's an 800 yr old school and the itinerary is all set out-the Germans are very organised and Mike's school isn't so much-that's the laid back Irish for you (no offence!).

Better go get the food and all the other stuff that needs doing...bye for now.E.x
