Update on Cyprus' hospital stay













Poor Cyprus ended up back in Starship Hospital and had surgery on Wednesday night to drain his side where the big lump was. He had a huge infection which must have been so very painful for him. He's back home now recovering and having his wound dressed every day.
Here's pics of Mali the aviator, isn't he cute! And his co-pilot Cyprus giving life the finger.

Cyprus's Weekend in Starship










Poor little Cyprus spent Saturday night in Starship Hospital after a lump came up on his side. After lots of tests and a scan the docs don't know what it is and have sent him home. Donelle takes him back next Friday. She said the lump is between the size of a golf and tennis ball and looks like its been put through a sausage machine!! Its painful but didn't show up in the scan.
Here he is in bed with a drip in his hand.
Donelle had fun with Mali while she was there. She took him with her when she went outside for a smoke. They came back and took the lift to level 4 where Donelle got out of the lift but when she looked behind her the doors were closing with Mali still inside!! She had to wait for another lift to arrive and went from floor to floor looking for him. She eventually found him on level 6 crying his little heart out as a lady tried to find out who he was and where he had come from!!

The other pics are of the lifts and the playground at the hospital - all very kids friendly - as it should be!

Cyprus and Matthew's hut


This the hut in my lounge that Matthew and Cyprus made. I picked Cyprus up in Dargaville when Ray came up to go fishing at Pouto and both boys stayed the night, sleeping on mattresses in my bedroom. Early the next morning we all put our gumboots on and firstly went to the shed to feed calves, feed the chooks and ducks and collect the eggs. We then went and got a newly calved cow and took her and her calf down to the yards, while Uncle Don was feeding the other calves. Poppa then arrived in the truck and we went to Barfootes to pick up two new calves which we then put onto the cow we'd brought to the yards. Both boys worked very hard and did a good job.

Cyprus Sponge Bob


Cyprus recently had a dress up day at his school. Donelle and Ray did a good job of putting together his Sponge Bob Square Pants costume.
