It’s been almost 4 weeks since deryn had his transplant, where on earth has that time gone? I try to find something interesting to write about as I am conscious of the fact that not a lot goes on really so I struggle sometimes to make things worth reading for you all. Deryn has been [...]
In October 2011, Deryn had his wish made a reality but the charity Starlight. He had always wished to be a Royal Marines Officer but being dealt a blow like Cancer (at the time, he only had one form) put pay to any chance of him ever serving in the armed forces. The Royal Marines [...]
These last 12 days have been quite boring really, we’ve had some great conversations with new people that we have met on Twitter and Facebook. We’ve met some wonderful people, we are really grateful to all our new ‘friends’ On Tuesday, Dad moved into Charley’s house. This is a home from home that is funded [...]
I’m old and forgetful, now what was I saying?….. I have learnt during my life that is often best to admit when you are wrong, and more importantly it is essential to learn from your mistakes. Sometimes it takes a gentle elbow in the ribs from a loved one to realise those mistakes, and it [...]
Hello and thanks for sticking with us whilst the site has been having a little fit, due to the tinkering and tweaking going on backstage by our good friend and IT guru James. Since we last updated there has been a change of Deryn’s staff, Dad has arrived and so has his starchy, humourless blogging [...]
First things first, I’d like to quickly update you on Deryn’s progress over the last three days. He’d not really eaten anything for three days and things had kind of come to a bit of a standstill, very frustrating but we understand that it’s very much a waiting game. He’s still been happy and upbeat [...]
Deryn has been quite down these last two days, mainly because his pain is so unbearable that they have been increasing his morphine slowly each day. This is making him very drowsy but he fights it and drifts in and out of consciousness rather than getting decent sleep so he’s exhausted. He’s been constantly woken [...]
One week down and what a week it’s been! We had a lovely parcel turn up from Pomolumi.com – they have been wonderful and are even dedicating a pack to Deryn so that a percentage can go to Deryn, please check out their website. Deryn has been keeping himself occupied, building things, making owls [...]
Well, I can’t believe that it’s been three days since Deryn had his transplant and all is brilliant in Isolation room 6! It’s been quite uneventful really, no adverse side effects or reactions – he was a little bit flush today after having Ciclosporin and magnesium but that’s a bad as it’s been thankfully. Si was [...]
I know that yesterday I posted a very quick blog to update people on the day but it was very last minute and I couldn’t give it the time it deserves so I am now sitting here in Isolation with not a lot else to do – it’s the perfect time to write a decent [...]
