Just Another Day Within our Subiaco Home!

Hi peeps,

Well here we are again!
This morning when I went to get Jared out of his cot, I noticed fresh blood stains on his pillowcase. I also noticed that his left ear was bleeding again. I carefully got him up, cuddled and kissed his sweet little cheek, changed his nappy and dressed him, for the day.

I was well aware of what was install for the remainder of the day, so I got the kids their breaky, packed their bags and off to school we went.
I kissed Mikaela goodbye, and reminded her that Grandad would be coming to pick her up. The highlight of the week for the poor kid!!

I bundled the boys back into their carseats, and my trusty Grand Carnival led the way towards Kwinana Fwy, all the way to Hay Street West, until it found "home".

Well we arrived at home, and parking was tragic, as always!!! We ended up fluking a spot, and headed up to our all to familiar "ED".

We were greeted by the lovely Triage nurse, who checked out Bunny's ear, and called for his notes. Next thing I knew, the ED doc's/nurses were deciding what would be the best treatment, for a successful outcome!!!

Bunny's ear was flushed to remove all traces of blood, then the ENT doc came down to check out his drum. "What a Mess", was his first reaction. He suggested that he speak to his boss who would decide on the final outcome.

He returned some 2 hours later, and informed me that Bunny would be heading down to theatre, at 3.30pm!!! Yes today!!!

Following his terrible seizure four weeks ago, Jared's skull fracture is still healing, and his torn eardrum now needs surgical repairing. Great! Just what I didn't want to hear.

So anyway, surgery went ahead and went well. Bunny's sats were a bit low, so he remained in recovery for a bit longer than usual. At least he was in good hands, and was enjoying all the fuss.

Once he had the ok from the post op ladies, we were sent down back to the ward, to make ourselves at home, as usual.

As it stands, Bunny is stable, and is receiving good pain relief, plus has been administered strong Amoxil with ear drops.

Let's hope to God that this clears up, once and for all!

Take care, and cuddles coming your way,

Lyndall, Mikaela, Curtis and Jared (Bunny) Light xxxxxxxxxxxxxx oooooooooooooo

  1. I forgot to mention that is was our much loved and adored Dr Jackie Scurlock's, last day at our PMH.

    Dr Scurlock will be terribly missed, she served at PMH for over 30 years, and the day has come, where she has decided to leave the hospital, to enjoy retired life!

    My God, what are we going to do without her? It makes me sad and heavy hearted to think! xxxx

    We love you Dr Scurlock, thank you for being a very special part of my children's lives and ongoing care! xxxx
