Janeway Health & Rehabilitation Centre - week 4

Today marks the fourth week of Anouk residence at the Janeway Health & Rehabilitation Centre (a fancy name for children's hospital). After last Thursday's skin graft, we were told the dressing would be changed in five days . . . today. Well, Dr. Akhtar, the pediatric surgeon and her primary doctor, has just looked at the graft and was pleased with the rate of healing. With that he also said we should plan on at least another week in the hospital. I certainly want to do the right thing by our little girl, but I sure look forward to seeing more than the medical side of the province. As you can imagine, a month in the hospital is enough to make anyone a bit stir crazy.

So, when life is less than some good, perhaps things are not going as you planned, and maybe you feel stuck in a rut, it can be hard to change things for the better. Thank goodness we are in Canada! I can run down to the Dominion, or perhaps Sobey's, and buy a package of butter tarts! I will report back after I have done just that....
