Grand Final Nerves

Many people wont get it, but when a team - your team- that you have barracked for for 30+ years (since being brainwashed by your brother) is playing in the game of the year, that one day in September, nerves set in days before, and things get a bit "tense". This time tomorrow I wont be capable of thinking of the game, preferring to block it out until the first bounce. So right here, now, while I can, I'm saying please, Please, PLEASE

bring it home Hawthorn.

GO HAWKS!

GO HAWKS!

After tonight, I'm not feeling overly confident that this will be the Year of The Hawks, but then again, I wasn't too confident in 2008 either! They've made it this far - let's hope they can finish it!

GO HAWKS!

Please take a minute to vote for the Children's Ward Auxillary

When Carter was readmitted to hospital at 8 days old with hypothermia, low blood sugar, and what has been described as a "near SIDS incident", we got to witness first hand how amazing the staff at ward 4K are. The 4K Children's Ward LGH Auxiliary are also amazing, and raise funds for much needed items for the children’s ward at the Launceston General Hospital, and are finalists for a $1,500 Coles grant to help purchase medical items. Currently the hospital is in need of a resuscitation trolley which this grant will help towards.

Click here to vote. Just scroll down the first page to the bottom left, and vote for 4K Children's Ward LGH Auxiliary. Voting is open until midnight 14th September.

I recently found my phone photos from then (the only ones we had as we left for the hospital in such a hurry the camera was the last thing on our minds).

Trying to warm up!

Not a well boy

So many blankets and still so cold - so cold we couldn't get a temperature reading before he headed in to hospital

Starting to feel better after being on the warming bed

We were lucky enough to have our own room for part of the stay

Lauren and Patrick enjoyed visiting!

I'm hoping it's not a place we have to visit again, but if we do, it will be great to know the auxiliary is doing everything they can to help children and their families be as comfortable as possible while in hospital.
