Nelson Update!

Nelson is feeling better each day. He is able to 

move about much easier and is talking about 

going back to school tomorrow! I'm sure he'll have plenty 

of book carrying helpers!

 

Yesterday, this gift basket arrived from his team.

Full of yummy things boys like to eat, along with a new football! He won't be using that for a little while! Hope he doesn't put on too much weight seeing though he won't be running around. LOL!

 Nelson was named "Player of the Day" on Sunday.

Nelson plans to go with Noel on his walks on Tuesdays and Thursdays up at footy. That way he's still "training" on training night. He is also going to be water boy once the plaster comes off.

Happy Birthday Molly!

 Today is Molly's first birthday. From this little pup to

 this big girl!

 You can see how much she has grown.

Thank you for all the good wishes for Nelson. He is feeling much better today, although still sore.

Oh, What A Day!

 I made Nelson's 50 Games banner on Friday night,
all ready for Sunday's match.

Bursting through the banner. All that hard work gone in seconds! I watched a bit of Nelson's game. He was having a fantastic game. I then headed off to Austin's match when I got a phone call!

 Nelson has been tackled and fell hard and 

an ambulance was on the way.

 Ouch! Can you see where his bone has snapped!

 The doctors tried to realign the bone in the ER under a light anaesthetic but were unsuccessful. He needed to go up to a theatre. Unfortunately, Austin Hospital didn't have a bed for him so he was transferred to the Epworth Hospital for the surgery. Of course, that's where all the AFL footballers are taken! The doctor was able to get his bone realigned without having to open him up and put in plates and pins!

Looking so much brighter this morning. He was starving as he hadn't eaten since breakfast yesterday. Nelson and I are back home now. It was a very long night!

Nelson's football season is over for 2013. Lucky as I had to cut his footy jumper off him! Basketball and gymnastics are also off for 3 months.

So that's how I spent my Mother's Day! 

I hope your day wasn't so eventful.

Happy Mother's Day!

A New Bathroom!

Over the past several months (although it has

 been finished about a month now) we have been 

renovating the boys' bathroom. 

 Three very young boys when they all 

fitted into the bath together!

 This one shows the colour a bit better.

 I didn't get a photo of the bathroom before we started demolishing it but the above photos give you an idea of the colour of the tiles. Then months of mess!

 

So from this above to this!

We still have to find a nice toilet roll holder and I'm looking out for an old ladder to be the towel rail.

It was a pain for a few months only having one bathroom (when you're use to two) but well worth it in the end.
