By Patti Dansereau — Dec 6, 2014 12:30am Hi Everyone, I’m happy to report today that Bernadette actually slept through the night last night!  Hard not to after two grueling days at the hospital.  Then she slept for a few hours this afternoon and it’s now obvious she’s gearing up for another night owl impersonation.    Actually todayContinue reading “To sleep or not to sleep…. ah there is the rub.”

By Patti Dansereau — Dec 6, 2014 11:22pm Hi Everyone, Just a quick update.  Nothing major to report.  Bernadette was indeed up all night last night but didn’t have the energy to do anything except watch some shows on Netflix.  Then she slept most of the morning and into the afternoon.  It’s now 9:30pm andContinue reading “Quiet day”

By Patti Dansereau — Dec 5, 2014 1:22am Happy to report that Bernadette clicked her running shoes together endless times and is now back home and resting almost comfortably in her almost own bed.  (A borrowed hospital bed – but it’s at home!) She did manage to have the blood transfusion this afternoon and itContinue reading “There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.”

By Patti Dansereau — Dec 3, 2014 10:08pm At Canuck Place we were given the advice to ‘expect the unexpected’.  At the time we didn’t quite know what that meant.  Today we got a lesson in Expect the Unexpected 101.   Bernadette was scheduled for a blood transfusion but when they took her temperature it wasContinue reading “Expect the Unexpected”

By Patti Dansereau — Dec 2, 2014 1:44am After a long anticipated and rough week, Bernadette and Catherine returned to Wilma’s for another play date.  They stayed twice as long this time and came home pooped.  Bernadette was so tired she didn’t remember what she did except she had fun and ate ice cream.  HopefullyContinue reading “Another play date.”

By Patti Dansereau — Dec 1, 2014 10:28am Bernadette had a good day all in all yesterday.  She was up until 3:00am but she wasn’t fighting a fever or a headache, just the usual general feeling of discomfort all over.   She was up to trying some Raisin Bran which she hasn’t eaten in almost twoContinue reading “Rite of Passage”

By Patti Dansereau — Nov 30, 2014 2:37pm Happy to report that Bernadette had a great evening/night last night.  She woke up around 9:30pm, after 16 hours of sleep, in a great mood.  She ate two bagels and struggled through her medicine.  I was able to brush out the five day’s worth of knots fromContinue reading “Sun shining on 2847 Juniper Crescent!”

By Patti Dansereau — Nov 29, 2014 9:12pm Even though it was sunny outside and cold, our indoors ray of sunshine had another cloudy, rough, and warm day.  After being up again all night, she slept the day away since about 5:30am while fighting a 101.3 fever jumping up to 103.7 fever for a little while.  But it eventually came down andContinue reading “Another cloudy day”

By Patti Dansereau — Nov 28, 2014 8:57pm Bernadette had a great night last night, but not of sleep!  She had a nap in the evening and around 9:00pm decided maybe it was time for bed.  So to bed she went.  She thought she’d sleep but instead she was awake all night.  She ate aContinue reading “An unwelcome trip to town.”

By Patti Dansereau — Nov 27, 2014 9:30pm Today was another difficult day.  After a totally lousy night sleep, Bernadette struggled through the day with a nasty headache and a fever.  Just when we were hoping maybe she was over the worst of it.  deep sigh   Advil and Tylenol don’t seem to be helping withContinue reading “More storm clouds”
