Today of all my days in hospital has been the most painful. I’ve been very sore and have been keeping up the pain medication non stop just to get some relief. One of the nurses checked my stitches and found that I am very bruised. I will be trying a salt bath later to see [...]

After a rough night with Addi, Charles and I are quite exhausted however we must go on. Today Addison had his hearing test done which we were allowed to take photos, I even got to keep the ear cups from the test – they will be going into his little time capsule as keepsakes. It was [...]

Tonight after midnight we are to call in the nurse to have Addison’s heel prick test done. This blood test will screen for rare congenital disorders. We won’t actually be told the results of this test, only if something is found to be wrong will we be notified. To find out more information about the [...]

Today mummy, daddy and Addi had a very busy day filled with visitors. First we had Gran come to see her grandson and stay with me while daddy went home to get some lunch and freshen up. She bought us some lovely flowers and gifts… we are all so spoilt! The flowers were beautifully arranged [...]

Instead of hospital food daddy went across the road and picked himself up some subway for dinner… daddy just loves those subway cookies!! Hospital is a little rough [...]

Today our little boy is one day old and as happy parents do, we have of course taken photos.

Today Aunty Eleni came to visit us in hospital and meet Addison for the first time. She was so excited to finally be able to come and see him. Eleni had been away over the weekend and was not in town during the labour with Addison, so was really looking forward to coming and seeing us [...]

Having never stayed in hospital before I had no idea what to expect.I can’t praise the Pindara Private Hospital staff high enough!!
