Coming Home! Update
Hi Everyone
It is now Thursday afternoon and the good news is WE ARE COMING HOME!! We leave tomorrow night at 10:00pm and arrive home Friday afternoon, around 2:00pm-ish. For those interested, it is flight number SA280, so please pray for us for a safe journey.
The plan is for us to all meet at the hospital with the doctor who will be travelling with us. Heidi will then travel by ambulance to the airport with us following in a taxi. She, the lucky duck, is going Business Class, so Mum, Dad and I will be in cattle class, trying to sneak forward like Elaine in Seinfeld!! An ambulance will take Heidi straight to Charles Gairdner at the Perth end and we’re not sure what we will be doing as yet.
It has been an incredible feat to get this flight - once again God has blessed us greatly. So many different people had to be contacted and bits and pieces organised - it was a headache for all ones with their fingers in the pie!
Dad and I have just left Heidi at the hospital - we’d gone to have lunch and when we came back Heidi had had her lines taken out of her neck! She looks totally normal again - noone seeing her now would believe how very very sick she has been (and still is actually - now she is just ‘critical’ rather than ‘acute’). We had to look at the photos I’d taken of her the day I arrived just to remember how awful she looked connected to all the machines in the ccu. She has received a bit of physio and managed to walk to the bathroom and back to the bed this morning without having to hold onto anyone.
So, we will see you all soon.
Much love
Kellie
