More tumbling and outta hospital!

The next morning we almost got the timing right for the drive to gymnastics and Alex headed out to the mat with nary a wave to Mummy. Oh well, she had to go grab a coffee anyway :)

Although there were different kids in today's class, Alex still had a ball and loved her new "teachers" as well. All too soon we were headed off to the hospital to see how Daddy and Sebastien had enjoyed their night and work out whether we'd be in there another night.

We arrived to find...no-one. Yikes! Sebastien had been discharged mid-way through our gym class and so Daddy and Sebastien (along with Chelsea, Kalan and Aunty Annie who were visiting) had adjourned to the playroom to wait for us. Phew!After letting the kids play - we headed to Aunty Annie's place again for some more playtime. First we stopped off at the hospital pharmacy for Sebastien's drugs. They obviously did the trick because he was non-stop smiles! Of course, finally getting out of that cot could have had something to do with that. His sister just wanted to be the one to push his stroller - she was so pleased that he was leaving the hospital.
After a quick sandwich for lunch, we finally headed for home in the late afternoon. It was hard to drag the kids away. That night Daddy headed out to All Bar Nun for drinks with his "old" soccer mates. A well deserved break after two nights on an uncomfortable pullout bed in hospital! Meanwhile Mummy had to convince Sebastien that showers were over-rated (thank goodness our house didn't have a really tempting bath) as we was to be sponge bathed until after his catheter came out. Pain medication seems to be doing its job - and Sebastien is a real pro at drinking his medicine - glad Mummy got the syringe to help out!
